Quinn's Graduation

We went to my nephew Quinn's high school graduation today. He graduated from St Thomas High School here in Houston. We are very proud that he did. He told us that he had to take only two finals! His grades were good enough that he only had to take his tests in English and Government. Good for him.

The keynote speaker was an old priest. (He is one of a Bazillion priests there. That is a lot of priests) His speech was based on the short fable called The Tiger Who Would Be King by James Thurber. It is a cautionary tale about picking fights for no good reason, and while you may win, it would be a Pyhrric victory. Very apt for our country at the moment.

Ree and Rex were there, along with Quinn's little girlfriend Brenda. Afterwards we went out to eat at Teala's restaurant. IT was quite delicious.
