We have been busy busy busy this weekend covering high school graduations! Skaneateles High School is one of my favorites. Each year the students run for the lake as soon as the ceremony is finished and jump, flip, cannonball into the cool water for tradition’s sake. I went for a different angle this year, wading out into the shoulder deep water. (I don’t ever remember it being this deep!) Here’s a VIDEO of the actual jump if you’re interested.

Many in New York, and across the country for that matter, had something to celebrate today after a NY Senate vote legalized same-sex marriage in New York State. It’s historic occasions like this for which I’m in the habit of visiting Newseum to see how newspapers shared the news. I like seeing the size and placement of photos, headlines and general design, among other things.

Here are a few of interest:
