Tuesday evening was the DARE graduation. This year we made sure to be on time, even quite a bit early, and I skipped softball for it. Which didn’t matter because it rained most of the day, including a pounding storm during the program, so the game was rained out. Anyway, we left home early and picked up subs on the way to the venue, and arrived early enough that I wondered if we had the right date or place. The OCC wasn’t even open yet so we ate on the steps as we waited. The heavy traffic arrived soon enough. While we were waiting, I managed to drop my phone on the concrete and the glass shattered. Seems like that has happened to me before (see 8/12/12). Once again they had Retro Bill speaking, and a lip-sync battle between the DARE officers, and a laser light show to boot. And Missy won one of the self-esteem awards. Today the kids went right to SOS after church to visit the K-9 training unit, which they loved, and it gave Beth and me some kid-free time which is a rarity these days.
