Yesterday I attended the my wife's graduation from Marquette. She had two ceremonies to attend. The first was at the Bradley Center and was for all Marquette graduates. The second was at the Gesu church and this was just for the Nursing Master's and Bachelor's graduates. As to be expected, both ceremonies were long and dull. I felt myself almost nodding off until someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Hey can you give me a dollar or two for a sandwich? Hey can you give me a dollar or two for a sandwich?" I didn't even turn around to look at the assumed homeless person but I couldn't help but think about how desperate someone must be to actually walk into the middle of a graduation ceremony in a packed church and ask for money. Maybe he was mentally ill. Since I didn't look at him, I really don't know. I think someone else must have shuffled him out pretty quick.
