As our friend Pat so eloquently noted yesterday, graduation season is upon us. Commencements hit full stride today up the road at CU, and I suppose at hundreds of other institutions across the country, as well. So S&R would like to take a moment and congratulate the Class of 2008. If you’ve read us much at all you know that this year’s seniors are part of a generation that’s been much examined and oft-critiqued, but rest assured – if we’ve been harsh on you, our fondest hope is to be proven very, very wrong.

Also, let us offer some advice, clichéd though it may be. Today marks an ending and a beginning. As Head Automatica points out, what comes next may surprise you.

Best of luck.
