For the third time since being back in Boulder City, I got to attend and cover the high school graduation. I’ve covered several graduations in a variety of communities during my career but there is definitely something special about covering your alma mater. For those keeping score at home, I was class of 1987. I have to say, Boulder City knows how to honor their graduates. It starts off the with the Grad Walk, now in its 10th year.

I had intentions of writing this month about my goal these past 18 months of gathering experiences as opposed to material things, especially as I get older. My thought has been, I don’t agree with the “you only live once” or YOLO philosophy but rather, you only die once, you live every day. Instead of going into all of that, which I may do at a later date, I decided to write about something we have all experienced, while still having a connection to my original topic.
