I'm Your Keynote Speaker, Man.
So yesterday was my graduation. My whole family flew into town and we had a great couple of days tooling around L.A., yadda yadda yadda.
NANCY FREAKIN' CARTWRIGHT WAS OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER.
She gave a great motivating speech and even used the scene from "Bart Gets an F" (where Bart studies and still fails the test) to hammer home her point. It was awesome. I didn't even know she was going to be there until I saw her and wondered if she had a kid graduating with us! But once I got up there, I got the chance to shake her hand, say what a hero she is to me and thank her for her time. This is one of the highlights of my life.

Holy crap. That is beyond awesome.

Given MG's heritage, I hoped he would have been invited to do one of our graduations, but it hasn't happened. Congratulations on the accomplishment and on the chance to meet Nancy.

That was totally brilliant. Make sure to treasure that memory for as long as you can... pretty much forever, basically.

Congrats, and what an awesome choice of speaker!
Graham graduated in the same ceremony as BRIAN BLESSED got his honorary doctorate. That was also pretty cool.

Ahh, I missed this! Awesome! Despite being stuck in that scientology morass she seems like a pretty cool lady. Even smiled at me when I got her to sign my book.
