Hello everyone!

We just attended the USMGC commencement.  COO Ken Malone really had things "under control."  The weather broke and it was mass confusion.  I can't imagine I'd let Malone onto my campus even as an outside vendor, much less in a capacity like Chief Operating Officer. 

The commencement actually finally got going.  On our way there, my risk manager dismantled the laser scope from his piece and left the piece in our trunk.  He carried the scope to the ceremony and during Hewes' address he moved the pointer all around Hewes' chest and abdomen.  The crowd was about to burst at the seams in laughter, but maintained its composure.  Hewes never even knew what was going on.  A few minutes later, my RM moved the pointer up to Hewes' forehead and began tracing words --- a$$, jerk, RINO, etc.   Gulfport's Mayor doubled over in his seat during at this point, and you could see his body convulsing in laughter.  At this point, you could also see chuckling in the crowd.  What a fun time.  I know my RM can be childish at times, be he's very important to us and we usually let him have his fun.

After the ceremony, my RM's associate delivered a large bouquet of flowers (personally) to Hewes.  The card read: "I arranged these just for jou, Billy.  My love, Roy..."  That was entirely my RM's associate's idea.  Everyone was in on the fun this morning it seems.

The ceremony is over and we're headed to Chappy's for lunch.  Our afternoon isn't mapped out completely.  I know what I want to do amidst all these casinos though.  I'll report back later with more news as it develops.
