CSpan, at this time of year, schedules several commencement addresses.

A couple of weekends ago, Barry Jackson, Caleb, Hunter Huddleston, and I drove to Omaha, Nebraska, and for the third year, watched the opening weekend of the College World Series.

During the late evening in the Ulysses S. Grant room of the White House Best Western in Bellevue, Nebraska, we caught the last moments of the commencement address delivered to the graduating class of Boston College by David McCullough, author of several books primarily of history including John Adams.

It was a wonderful address, the part I heard, which implored the graduates to continue and find a love for learning.

Upon my return here, I located the video and the text of the address and required Erin and Caleb to watch with Leslie and me. You should watch it.

Google John Adams Boston College and you should find the msn video link.

This week, Erin and Jeb head to Camp Copass near Lake Lewisville with our church, Lake Cities Church of Christ. They will be there for a week. Erin has already been and loved Blue Haven. Caleb has been on a mission trip and continues is Velocity training camp. Got to get faster, quicker, stronger.

Friday, our family heads to Amarillo and then on to Sedona, Arizona. Why? Because we have never been. Hear it is pretty there.
