Ada Main Street’s Under the Umbrellas, a gathering in Central Park featuring artists, live music, poetry and more, went well early, but was cut short by a perfect case of irony: rain. The event promised, “an evening of creativity and community under a kaleidoscope of hanging umbrellas,” according to Ada Main Street, and for more than an hour visitors enjoyed live music, live poetry, artesian crafts, and more. kAmqFE ;FDE 27E6C e A]>][ D<:6D 52C<6?65[ 2?5 H9:=6 E96 F>3C6==2D @? 5:DA=2J :?

So you’ve graduated from high school. Congratulations. At various graduations this month, student speakers and keynote speakers tossed out various tidbits of information and advice they hoped would give you seniors a head start in life. A healthy fantasy life is a great thing. Maybe you fantasize about learning to fly airplanes. I did, and it ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. Maybe you fantasize about one day having “Doctor” in front of your name.
