She's come a long way since bashing my head against couch armrests. That includes nearly 20 years affiliated with the Army, including extended tours in Korea and Iraq. I'll say she's much more courageous than I am along with being much stronger and healthier than I am. Yes, I know you would think the slimmed down EDW would please her, but she still asks some questions.
Here's some photos:

However, I pass this question on to you. Should it be an obligation to have an open house after completing an educational program at any level? Please comment.
You should have had at least one open house. Are you angling for a post-degree open house?
ReplyDeleteIt should by no means be an obligation. However, if the graduate wishes to celebrate his or her accomplishment in the presence of family and friends, then it is an appropriate and appreciated gesture.
ReplyDeleteI echo Peter's comment. Or maybe to celebrate more efficiently, we could simply have you don a cap and gown at the next noodle night and honor you then?
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that Calvin Coolidge would not approve of an "open house."
ReplyDeleteIn his words: "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
Press on, Mr. Wong. Press on!
