Celebrating at a Distance

Yesterday evening, Jill and I joined in a mini-parade to celebrate a milestone for a friend and neighbor.

Julia King, a former classmate and fellow drama-kid with my son, TJ, received her master's degree from the University of Delaware. We decorated our car with a sign and balloon and joined a small caravan driving past her house, blowing our horns and waving. Her neighbors were outside waving and holding signs as well.

Julia was in her cap and gown, smiling and teary-eyed. The whole thing only lasted about 10 minutes, but I'm sure it gave Julia something of a substitute for what should have been a big moment in her life.

Congratulations, Julia...and I hope the next time you have a celebration we can all be there for real!
