Graduation Part II comes Thursday night. James leaves Duncanville High School with good memories of the 12 or 13 hours he wasn’t doing homework this past year. The graduation is in Reunion Arena in downtown Dallas — same place all the Dallas ISD high schools hold their ceremonies. Sometimes it seems the old basketball crowds stayed after the Mavericks decamped. Remember somber and sober graduation ceremonies?
Winding up the first year in Dallas ISD, with silly tests all over the place and procedures that would make Byzantium appear the model of efficiency. I’ve never caught up from the mid-year landing here, and the next two days will be grueling, to get out on time.
Quietly, the Bathtub will roll over 800,000 visitor clicks in three or four hours from now — certainly before midnight. The Berlin Wall continues to be the major topic day in and day out, followed by Sabat’s compelling cartoon of the African tsunami of drought, and that ancient jumping goat.
So much to say. So tired.
