Volleyballl @ Work
Today was volleyball day here @ Duke Revenue Management. Here's a snippet of the fun!
I think I spotted Steve Carell taking notes for next season's episodes of The Office - If you see someone at Dunder Mifflin playing volleyball, you can thank Duke.

Duke Family Fun Day 2008
This was our first Duke Family Fun Day. We had a great time - lots of free rides, food, and entertainment for the kids. Julia got her first taste of cotton candy and Claire got in a good nap. (event map pdf)

Congratulations Laura!
Congratulations to our good friend Laura who is graduating from Campbell University Divinity School with a Master's of Divinity degree.
We'll be attending her hooding ceremony this weekend. Stay tuned for pics from the event.
History and Significance of the Graduate Hood
The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were taking form. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether student or teacher, was the dress of a cleric. With few exceptions, the medieval scholar had taken at least minor orders, made certain vows and perhaps been tonsured. Long gowns were worn and may have been necessary for warmth in unheated buildings. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap.
Today, hoods are the most expressive component of the academic costume. They serve to communicate the owner’s school, degree and field of study through their length and the colors of the lining and binding. Today’s hoods have evolved from a serviceable article of clothing to a type of elongated scarf draped over the shoulders and displayed down the back with the lining turned inside out.

I'm still getting to know the app - so I'll have more thoughts as the weeks progress.
