Congratulations!

I do have a question. What in the world is "Corn Hole"? I keep hearing it mentioned more and more around Atlanta area bars. I am guessing some type of horseshoe like game?

Yeah, it's a corn bag toss game that 2 people per team play at opposing ends like horseshoes. For some reason it got crazy popular in Louisville while I was gone.

"Cornhole a.k.a "tailgate toss," "bean bag toss," "baggo," or "bags" is a lawn game in which players take turns pitching cornhole bags (cotton duck bags filled with feed corn) at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. These platforms are usually made with plywood or occasionally plastic, and are often decorated. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a player reaches the score of 21."

Isn't the actual ceremony like the worst part? I am NEVER. walking. again. You wait for 3 hours and walk for 5 seconds.

Congratulations again. It's a great feeling to finally get through something that long and difficult.

Ugh, yeah, the ceremony is quite boring. My phone kept me company until the battery started dying. I was texting with Stephen and my sister who were in the audience. Lol.

I don't "really" know you, Steph, but I'm proud of you just the same. The steps you've taken to open your life up to an
entirely new realm of possibilities are awe-inspiring to me.

Best wishes to you and your future, and thank you for allowing me to witness it from afar.

I do believe there's a "Summa Cum Laude" joke in there somewhere.
