That was the echoing refrain from Brady, the younger brother of one of my best friends, Ryan, during his graduation party. Ryan has graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He currently works as a draftsman for an engineering company that designs airplanes.
We met in 1997, in the dorms, which might show how long Ryan's been at it with finishing. We lived together from 2000 to 2004, and from '04 until '06 when we left for New York Ryan's house was Corrie's and my second place. He was a member of my wedding party. Those first few quarters in the dorms wouldn't have foreshadowed this past weekend, when the celebration of the completion took place. (The same is true of me.)
Good job, Ryan.
Now, playing horseshoes with Ryan and Brady and Sam...
...and listening to the "Paging Dr. Talyat!" refrain from Brady, him having a little fun with the timespan for Ryan's graduation, was a real pleasure.
We also got to see Valerie, Ryan and Brady's mom, as well as their grandmother and cousins, who live in the area.
The only bummer was having to leave after last call and head home to LB for work the next day.
I'm proud, Ry. You done good.
