I took a half-day vacation, and went and saw Matthew get his Texas A&M ring today. This a big deal, because you can only get it after completing sufficient credit hours of hard class work. The ring looks real good on his finger. It’s nice and sparkly. We shared these good times with Gwen and Amber and her parents and brother who are friends he’s had since freshman orientation years ago. Before getting his ring I went to the HelpLine and met his boss, Susan, and co-volunteer, Jesse. After getting his ring we had dinner at Jason’s Deli, talked and then I got to see him play softball. Where oh where does he get such good hand-eye coordination to hit the ball like that? And what was great was they won. I think that makes two games so far. He had a double-header, but it was getting late and I had to leave after the first game. I got back home at 11 PM tired but happy. It was a nice break for a Thursday. I’m glad I did it.
