My eldest son and his friend–the exchange student we call Our German–are graduating. They say the time flies. It did.

Dan,
Congratulations, I hope time flies for the next year as well.
Congratulations! A happy day.:)
Congrats! Wish them the best for us. And yes, the time does indeed fly much too fast.
Hearty stein-hosting congrats from TN, Dan.

Thanks, serr8d
for the post at the pw challenge thread as well
congrats and have a great day celebrating with them!
Congrats, and yes the time she does fly. Our neighbors next door had two foreign exchange students just leave, a German and a Russian. Good boys, they fit right in with the other boys in the neighborhood.
Congratulations Dan.
Congratulations to your son and his friend.
Time flies, indeed. My belief is we view the passing time in relation to the entire time we have lived. At 4 the year until 5 is 25% of your life, at 60 the 15 years until 75 passes at about the same speed.
Summer in childhood was so long, now I blink and it’s gone. Winter the same thankfully. If I blink a few times perhaps O! will be out.
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.

Congratulatiosn, btw.
Time does indeed fly.
Favorite #1 son has gotten engaged.
Favorite #2 son is home from Afghanistan.
Favorite Daughter graduated with a BA from Penn State.
Good times, indeed.
Congratulations to both of them. I know you are very proud.
Congrats!
My youngest is taking the ACT today.
It’s all a blur, ain’t it?
Congratulations to you and yours Dan,
Enjoy a lovely day spent celebrating in the bosom of your loving family…
And congratulations to all the parents and graduating children here amongst the PW commentariat!
Best Wishes
Thanks for the congrats, but truly my wife did most of the nagging.
Women don’t nag! They offer advice with great conviction is all.
Dan, congratulations to you, your wife and your son.
Good show!
Applause for Dan’s Bride. And I hope your son has a wonderful summer before starting college.
OT: harbinger
Congratulations! Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.

Congrats, Dan.
As of this summer, I’ve got four teenagers…three of them girls.
Sometimes time doesn’t fly fast enough!!!
Molon Labe,
All I can say is, Wow…That’s some piece you posted…
I hope that all those pissed folks vote Democrats out of congress in 2010, and against Obama in 2012…
Congrats! :)
Hey, congrats to all, Dan. I hope your visiting scholar sorted out the college situation.
happy graduation! ok so that would make one by my count. That long hard slog thinger ain’t near over, but this is a not-grim milestone.
where is the molon piece? Also I have to backtrack and find malaclypse’s cause I was on my way out when that got posted and I can’t remember where that was.
oh you mean linked not posted I was confuzzled
Happyfeet,
Malaclypse here #113 and #118.
Congrats you lived long enough to see your kid accomplish something. May we all be that lucky.
thank you geoff I will read when I get a break here –
also this note:
anyone what is still referring to Governor Palin as Barracuda or ‘Cuda or as a pitbull … is gay. Gay gay gay gay Olivia Newton John needs her pink sweatband back gay. She is Governor Palin or Sarah Palin. How fucking hard is that? It is not hard is how hard it is. In fact it is very easy unless you are a vapid homo.
Okey dokey so I hope that helps get us all on the same page there.
oh. But anyone here at this particular blog can call Governor Palin whatever they want and still be a lot not gay. But that’s just cause y’all are cool like that. It’s not the norm.
“Barracuda” was inspired by the ladies in Heart being offended at an implication that they were gay, they say.
The awesomeness of the way this little universe works is endearing sometimes.
