Short takes from (Commencement+1) weekend and this past week

As noted in earlier posts, I was at W&M a week ago. The weekend after commencement is also the weekend before the one where summer students move in, and the campus is almost deserted. It's rather eerie to be there on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and to have the campus almost entirely to oneself. ( Short takes from my walk around the campus )

In other news:

• Gordon Lightfoot is on tour this summer. But his concert at Wolf Trap is right in the middle of Pennsic - arrrgh... and all three dates in PA follow right behind, *still* during the War.
• RIP Thurl Ravenscroft, voice of Tony the Tiger and singer of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch" (among other showbiz roles).
