Graduation

We have several friends who finally are going to have a graduate. In most cases, it took at more than four years to complete a four year education. Not sure why that is going on, but I guess it is just part of modern educational system. One friend spent over $120,000 for there daughter's education, and now she has a degree in art history. The job opportunities are not plentiful in that market, so I understand she is going to get her masters for another $80,000. I guess it is only money, and we want our children to have a head start, but really!!!!


My wife and I spent a lot of years getting various degrees, so we do understand the value of education. I do appreciate those who receive high honors and really apply themselves to the educational process. However, one of the great education quotes is the following: 


To those of you who received honors, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you too may one day be president of the United States.
-George W. Bush



I've read that George W. had a lot of fun in college, didn't get strait A's, and still was able to do well with his life. So to all the graduates who have spent a fortune, taken over five years for a bachelors degree, and had a lot of fun doing the whole thing, congratulations. May you all be successful in your life and above all, have fun. Just Say'n.


There is a place on our blog that says "Become a Follower". It would really be a great graduation present to us if you join our blog.  Oh wait, we're not graduating. Hmm. Heck, do it anyhow. Just Say'n

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
