Last week Mrs. Ref and I headed back to Nevada, MO (pronounced Neh-VAY-duh) for The Kid's graduation from Cottey College.  It was a long, stressful, relaxing, celebratory weekend that is almost now officially over.  The final leg of the weekend is taking place now as The Kid makes her way from Missouri to home via a couple of different airlines.

And in the end, she has been duly commenced and moved out.

She'll be home with us for a few weeks, and then she's off for her summer job at the church camp in the Diocese of Spokane on beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene (pronounced Cor duh-lane).

The most bizarre part of the weekend was when I came into the office this morning.  I tried to check in and print our boarding passes from the hotel in Nevada, but their printer wouldn't talk to my computer, and they didn't have a business station for guests.  I finally gave up and would deal with it at the KC airport (which is a really weird place, btw).

When I came into the office this morning, though, my boarding passes had printed out on the office printer here.  Wow.

And now it's back to business as usual.

Love the way some names are pronounced. Middle Daughter lives in Tennessee, near a town called Santa Fe, which pronounced Santa FEE. There's also a town in Ohio pronounced Lima, as in lima bean.

The Lima thing doesn't surprise me -- I officiated football in Lima, MT that was pronounced like the bean.

While we were out there for graduation, I learned that the way to pronounce Miami, MO, was My-am-uh.

Every place does their own thing.
