The recent graduations at my alma mater were the first that I attended there - two on the same day, as a proud uncle. I stayed away from all of my own three graduations, from as many schools, because they would've been "pointless rituals." This of course didn't apply this time, because I was there to cheer, and yell their names when they walked, then hug and congratulate them, and pose for countless pictures with the bestest niece and nephew and family in the world!

Another moment of (very rare) alma mater and ethnic pride came earlier this month when a desi heroically heckled Ann Coulter there.

That's more pride than I can handle in a month, and there's gonna be more coming next month. Since I already have a healthy store, I'll be sharing it with like-minded visitors here.
