The day after my graduation – we took my dad out for a Father’s Day breakfast at Le Peeps in Evanston. I picked up a Northwestern polo shirt for him.
Then we dropped off my Ate’ Gigi at Midway so that she could catch a flight back to Sin City.
For the rest of us – our flight didn’t leave until around 8ish. So, we headed downtown to take in the sights.
I suggested a boat tour on the Chicago River – a great way to see all the cool buildings and city stuff – without the headache of navigating Chicago-land traffic. That weekend – they closed down several Lake Shore Drive exits for the upcoming “Taste of Chicago.”
An hour boat tour gave us an amazing lesson about all the styles that make up the Second City – can you guess why Chicago got that nickname?

After the ceremony in Cahn…we headed over to the Quad for snacks, drinks and a word or two with our fellow Grad students. We walked out of Cahn with purple boxes holding our diplomas.

At last….we managed to graduate from Medill’s graduate program with
a Master’s of Science in Journalism. Finally. Here’s Joan helping Stacey with her collar-thing. The collar-thing kept itching me during the ceremony…but hey….it’s what graduates wear….I suppose.

Last week for Chicago Broadcast
it was a tough quarter…but we were happy to be doing it…maybe it’s better than tracking down another interview for the other RPA’s.
