The Jim Bunch Eats! We have a graduation party! A cute little quiz contest?
Flash! Where we will be until Saturday night, click here to see
First the party and eating [click any picture for larger size]
Son, Tim, cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the outside grill over at his friend's, Terry's, house. Then we had the trimmings and beans and potato salad. Dessert was a nonfat pineapple cream pie and a calorie laden chocolate cake.
We had this family graduation party for Megan and James last Saturday. Megan, Grandchild # 2 (GC#2), and her boyfriend, James, graduated from the University of Texas at Austin on May 16 of this year.
Both of them are staying in Austin for about another month while they finish taking their CPA exams. Again, being a nerd in college pays, they each graduated with honors!
Their degrees are a BBA in Accounting and an MBA in Professional Accounting. We are proud of them. Megan finished all this in five years and never changed her major, even once. [changing your major gives you hours that aren't needed for the latest degree and other classes are needed, all this taking extra time.]
The two part quiz contest, rules first
1. Contest ends July 21, you may change your answer until then. The last answer form turned in counts.
2. Part A. Place a name for each facial shot--35 points
3. Part B. Match the feet with the face--70 points
4. Submit your answers by copying and filling out the form found here. When you are ready, submit your completed form as a comment. Comment modulation allows you to have privacy in your answer sheet.

A morning with Daughter-in-law
This is Carmen,
Mitch's wife
.
We went to her Houston Baptist University graduation
.
She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Mass Media/Speech Communications. That is a mouthful and we are real proud of her.
Where else, but a Christian school graduation would the choir and the congregation be singing Lead On Oh King Eternal? This graduation was held at the First Baptist Church of Houston. A place this large was certainly needed to accomodate all the attendees.
I asked Carmen if she had a job now? The answer was no, not yet. She had been offered a couple of co-anchor jobs in towns to the west and east of Houston. Mitch said she might think about getting an appartment and coming home for her days off. Carmen said not a good idea.
.
I worked at NASA with a friend whose son had a degree in journalism. He said communications people have to 'pay their dues' most of the time by working in a minor market before getting to a large one like Houston.
.
After the graduation, Mitch treated us all to lunch at the la Madeleine (link) restaurant on West Gray and Shepherd. Thanks very much, Mitch.
.
btw:
Houston was supposed to have seven Spanish-language TV stations today, but the newest one, KCVH Channel 30, 'missed its debut.' [The Houston Chronicle, Business Section, May 23, 2006]
.
The fault lies with the FCC, Federal Communications Commission, who didn't get all the paperwork processed by their promised date. Where is Michael Powell when we need him? [Michael is Colon Powell's son who resigned as Chairman of the FCC in March of 2005.]
