Yesterday went into today. Anya was out watching the Eurovision championships, so I stayed up to meet her and walk her home. It was 1:30 am in the morning when we either got to bed or when the competition ended. I don’t even remember.
That means it was a short night.
While I was waiting for Anya, I got an email from my friend LaDeana. She was at PLU’s graduation in the Tacoma Dome, celebrating her daughter’s excellent 4 years and zillion credits (the most credits I’ve ever heard of completing in 4 years!). The commencement speaker was King Harald V of Norway.
So, I wondered what does a king say at a commencement speech?

This was in the program.
After a short night, Anya did a good job of getting out of bed. We made it to the bus by 10:15 am and to the 11:00 am church service for Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is a holiday, but it occurs on a weekend. So Pentecost Monday is a bank holiday and schools are closed. Knut tells me that the church has offered to give back some holidays, like the Monday after Pentecost, but the labor unions are adamant that the holidays stay.
We came back, and I slept. The afternoon was writing some emails.
In the evening we watched Iron Man 3. Anya is really great at picking out illogical items. Like some of the weapons are effective, but then they only get used once. Why not again in a similar situation, as they already demonstrated their effectiveness? Anya is also critical of Pepper character played by Gwenneth Paltrow. Anya says that Pepper deserved better than Tony Stark. That makes a mother glad to hear!
Off to sleep.
With blessings,
