Relax

Things do get better.

Last week it was beginning to feel like things were spinning out of control. After a weekend that included a Kansas City Chiefs victory, things suddenly feel right again. I got my work done, I'm pretty much caught up on errands, bills, and that sort of thing. Oddly enough, I even found my parking pass.

So what's next? That's a good question. I need to figure out what I'm going to do after this law school thing is over. It's time to pick a speciality. It's time to pick a location. Wow, those are some tough choices. I'd really like to head West, AKA California. But that has choices of its own. San Diego? San Francisco? San Jose? A city without San in the name at all?

I have some serious things to figure out right now. I guess its better than having nothing going on, but this next year is going to really set my future in motion. I'll have to try not to screw it up.

Our hearts are with you

I don't have much time to write, but I had to say something about what happened in New Orleans. It's a terrible and sad situation, and we all know that it's brought out the worst in some people. My hope is that in the end, it will bring out the best in people as well.

For now, I'll just post the words of Jon Edwards, because I know I couldn't say it any better:

"You know, I have learned two lessons in my life. One is that there will always be heartache and struggle in our lives. We can't make it go away. And the other is that people of good will can make a difference. One lesson is sad and the other is inspiring. And walking together through this day, we choose to be inspired because we know that we can fulfill the promise.
In times like these, if we can work together, comfort together, and help communities rebuild together, then let's do that for all of the challenges that exists right now and build one America."

Our hearts are with you.
