    Kilted at Finn McCool's

    My oldest son received his University of North Carolina at Greensboro class ring this past Friday. He went to the ring ceremony kilted. I wore a kilt in honor of him. We then took him and his girlfriend to Finn McCool's for dinner and a pint. He will be graduating next month.



    I am very proud of this young man!

    I can imagine that you are proud. Congrats to the lad and to you for your part in raising a fine young man.

    How cool is that!!??

    You seem rightfully proud.

    What's his degree in? And be sure and tell him grad school is easier than undergrad and urge him to stay in school and get a master's degree in whatever. A sound financial investment - particularly with so many new student loan forgiveness programs after graduation.
