Graduation and Farmer's Market

As of yesterday afternoon, Kathryn is a real attorney. I have already begun to respond to any question she asks me with "What are you, a lawyer?" The speeches at the graduation ceremony were decent, but listening to the names of 250 graduates read over the course of an hour and a half was worse than sitting through a Catholic Mass.


Luckily we were able to escape shortly after the ceremony and enjoy wine, pizza, and a backyard fire.

Most Saturday mornings I'm not in the mood to mill around the Capitol Square with throngs of people, but today was an exception so Kathryn and I went to the farmer's market. The high point was a rhubarb custard danish that was pretty much the best pastry I've ever had in my life.


The low point was a pair of 14 year olds playing violin and flute duets of "Smoke on the Water" and the theme from Star Wars. Those were apparently the only two songs they knew, and they did not know them well.

These "singing grannies" weren't too shabby. Next to those kids with the violin and flute they looked like a chorus of Pavarottis:

When is "Judge Kathryn" coming out on FOX? I hope you can take time out of your day to take the role of "beefcake bailiff who laughs at her jokes when she gets real exasperated with a troublesome defendant".

The market on the square is tiring, too many olds and not enough porn.
