Awful News
My best friend's father passed away unexpectedly last night. I ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he mourns the loss of his Dad.
100 years ago
100 years ago today the RMS Lusitania, a British passenger liner illegally carrying ammunition to the home isles, was torpedoed by German U-Boat 20 and sunk off the coast of Ireland. 1,198 people lost their lives, including 128 Americans. The event galvanized American thoughts on the conflict and eased our entry into the war two years later. To all the victims - RIP
Also - 70 years ago tomorrow Eisenhower accepted the unconditional surrender of German forces in WWII
The word "thug" describes a behavior pattern, not a race. I have seen the word applied to black and white alike, from muggers downtown to mafia goons on TV. It's about as racially generic as you can get. The media manufactured a linguistic controversy because they like to stir the pot and keep us all at each others throats for the sake of their ratings. What better way to do that then to hold the language captive?

The Sultan of Swat
100 years ago today Babe Ruth hit his first (of 714) major league home runs. #IBowToThee #MightyPinstripes #TBE
Hmm.
In a doctor's office and able to overhear the doc discuss my hip in detail with a med student in the hallway. It's a better summation than what she gives me. I'm learning some stuff for a change. lol
I think the Con Law final was the most difficult so far in law school, in large part because of the format: 53 questions over four hours, most of them multiple choice. You'd think that would be easy, but when each possible answer is fifty words long and filled with bits of truth, twists of logic, and lawyerly gobbledygook, er, not so much. I'm sure I did fine - I certainly didn't fail - but given my expectations I may be disappointed. We'll see. I know the material, I just hope the grade reflects that fact.

Pool time at the hotel (I hit the water before dinner; these two didn't even wait an hour after, the careless daredevils!)

Junie's First Communion Celebration Trip - pt 2
I'm at the top of the scenic tower at Holy Hill with Junie. 178 stairs. I may be dying. I won't know for sure until I stop panting.
