Oh sure, we could talk about how graduation is a time for students to "shed their skin" as they begin life after college.Or how these "asp"iring graduates are ready to "rattle" a few cages out in the real world.
But lest you recoil in disgust at me tipping the scales to an all time low in snake puns, let's just say that for my friend Mike, law school is history.
Or is that hissssss-tory? (I couldn't resist.)
When you've just successfully completed the rigors of law school, like Mike, and are at the start of what is bound to be a productive and rewarding career, not much can scare you - least of all Sneaks, the friendly resident boa constrictor.
Nonetheless, I was surprised when Mike volunteered to don his snake-adorned mortarboard - and I was ready with the camera! (Emily, who earlier in the day snapped a great shot of the graduates' walk down the hill, waited anxiously in another room, hoping to keep Sneaks out of sight and out of mind until he was safely back in his cage).
Congratulations, Mike! Thanks for your sense of humor, and good luck in Texas!
And to everybody, thanks for not throwing a hisssss-y fit about another snake picture!
