Graduation Ad in the WSJ Paper

The university finally put the ad out, here goes:

A myth called reality, shadows that hide the face,
mine, is but another one, no differentiator.
Hiding behind that glass, what you see is not always what you get
unless you are that inner circle, i'm watching out, for that inner circle

Wow what a weekend. Drove up with my wife to cornell to attend the graduation ceremony. Finally done with two years of anguish going thru my MBA. It was so worth it. Photo below with some good friends and their families.

The Light at the end of the tunnel

i'm now faced with a new problem.. i need something to worry about because the last two years of my life have been a partial living hell between the MBA, Work and everything important in life..

P is happy im finally done and frankly so am i. i now have the ability to not be distracted in conversations with her anymore wondering about what paper i have due next...and i promise to make it up to her for being such a great pillar of support while i faced some trying times....

Done with the MBA

Saturday was the final day doing our private equity presentations. Was too tired to deal with much of any drinking when we were done. Ended up on the rented bus that rode us down to NYC. Started off at a pub called Kanvas and it was kinda empty. At this point Joe suggested that we head down to Copper Chimney for an Indian dinner and some Taj Mahal beers. Best suggestion ever. Returned from dinner to meet Martin @ the Cookhouse. Martin and I (with the rest of the school gang) ended up at a club called Lotus. very nice place but way overcrowded for my suburban ass.

all in all, im glad im done. its been two brutal years and my wife has been more than understanding letting me get away with it..thanks babe
