Good idea, at least for many. It would be a nice reunion for graduates a year later, too.
(Assuming large gatherings are OK a year from now. :-\)

I noticed that President Obama is scheduled to give a broadcast this evening as a commencement speech to all the graduates. I'm going to try to catch it. Later on, the Dalai Lama will have a podcast on his web site and Facebook page. Some high-class entertainment for a Saturday evening!

What was peculiar was that the young woman was dressed as if for her college graduation, when nobody is holding graduation ceremonies.

Happened again today. I went out for a walk this afternoon and saw another young woman in a cap and gown.
The temperature was, like, 80 F here this afternoon. When I went for my walk, the park in Rittenhouse Square had a lots of people in groups of two or three or more--but the groups all seemed to be spread out to keep a distance from each other.

Lots of reports of places opening up. I'm still following precautions and wearing my masks, and washing and using alcohol on my hands and face.

Have you seen the cover of the latest New Yorker?
In our paper today is a story about a family with a graduating kid watching some remote graduation program in their living room. I haven't read it yet but I'm sure that's going on all over the place. And I saw a story in which a photographer made portraits of graduates -- cool ones, outdoors and in interesting places, wearing interesting outfits -- as a gesture to make up for what they're missing.
