Every time someone tail gaits me, and eventually zips around me speeding into the foreground, I always try to make a note of their license place number, so that if I see a car that looks like theirs stopped up ahead by a cop when I pass it, I can have the extreme pleasure of … Read more
A Legal Lad podcast that I listened today was addressing the question: “From a legal perspective, who owns the baseball that Barry Bonds hit for his 756th home run?” Is it… Major League Baseball? They sponsored the event, purchased the ball for the game, and possessed the ball before the game. The San Francisco Giants? … Read more
I was up at 7:30 this morning, which on the one hand is very early for me on a Sunday. However, on the other hand (he wore a ring—ba-dump bump, I’m here all day folks), since I went to bed at 9:30 (after an hour of sleep on the couch) that was really 10 or … Read more
I spent way more of my day than I thought I would today doing homework for my Rhetoric of Science and Technology class. The articles we have to read are interesting for the most part, but often tedious to read, process, and then compare and contrast theories presented in each, which essentially is what we … Read more
I picked up an “emergency” 30-day prescription refill today at K-Mart, as my doctor’s office has mailed me the 90-day ones, which won’t get here in time for me to mail to merckmedco and get the meds back before I’ll run out of one of them. I brought my flash drive with me to print … Read more

First, they asked 203 men and 241 women aged 17-52 in Austin, Texas, to anonymously list every reason they had ever had sex. Those men and women were taking psychology classes or were … Read more
I took a vacation day to actually relax—well sort of—one day of this long weekend. I took advantage of the opportunity to finish up my blog entries of the weekend in New England, and to do my reading for my Verbal Data Analysis this evening. Class was fine tonight, and I stayed in Tompkins, in … Read more
We met at Breezy Lake Drive to go together to breakfast, with the intention of eating at a Denny’s. However, it was totally jam-packed when we got there, as was the Cracker Barrel next door to it. Rather than drive around for another place, we decided to have a quick breakfast at a Wendy’s, as … Read more
We took advantage of the complimentary hotel breakfast this morning, which was pretty decent. My dad read the headlines about Senator Craig resigning, and said, “The only reason he’s resigning is because he’s a Republican. If a democratic had done the same thing, he wouldn’t be forced to resign.” I bit my tongue and thought, … Read more
