As we bid farewell to April (although it sure felt like early March today) and welcome in the month of May (which will feel like early April, according to the forecasts!), we enter those few weeks that I refer to as the long series of goodbyes for our graduating seniors, culminating in a few weeks with commencement (graduation). Or, as Billy Joel once sang: "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again." On Tuesday, it was the first of the "lasts" as several (but not all) seniors had their "last" track workout. There were "retirement balloons" for Jess and Hannah and the men organized "throwback singlet day" today. Not everyone was doing a track workout so it wasn't the full team thing that we've had in the past, but it was representative enough, as you can see in these many photos. After having been through this "Goodbye Season" for decades, the best advice I can give our soon-to-be graduates is to savor every moment ... every "last" there is, because these are moments and days that will last (pun intended) a lifetime. And for our non-seniors? Same advice: Savor every moment, because your own "lasts" will be here before you know it.
