Graduation 2020


New York's Canandaigua Academy held their graduation on Bristol Mountain:


Many of those students, accompanied by family, rode up the mountain in chairlifts to accept their diplomas at the summit. Some of the students opted out of riding the chairlifts but accepted their diplomas nonetheless. At the top, they also posed for photos and were cheered every step of the way by family, friends and Canandaigua staff and school board members.

People often remark that I'm pretty lucky.  Luck
is only important in so far as getting the chance
to sell yourself at the right moment.  After that,
you've got to have talent and know how to use it.

Weakly Demotivator



Quote of the Day


Throughout history, it has been the inaction of
those who could have acted;  the indifference
of those who should have known better;
the silence of the voice of justice when
it mattered most;  that has made
it possible for evil to triumph.
