Graduation is so special, isn't it? Preschool graduation, kindergarten graduation, grade school graduation, middle school graduation, high school graduation, college graduation...well, maybe not that special. But it does make a sniffling mom look backward and forward at the same time, which is exactly what I'm doing on Midlife Mixtape today, with a reflection on an album I loved on my commute, then years later on my kid's commute. Come pat me on the shoulder, and say, "There, there," won't you?

Speaking of truth, this whole promposal business has opened my eyes to my sons' ability to stand on ceremony. In fact, I was inspired to invent the momposal, which may be my greatest idea ever. Trust me, you want in on this over at Huffington Post Parents.
