ts-

have one more pint and go to bed.
the sun will come out tomorrow.

(this reminds me of a personal anecdote)

one evening last month kath was feeling
overworked, tired and depressed about the
"political" and seemingly unethical nature of
law school teachings and the law profession in
general and she was questioning her resolve to
see it through another year and a half to
graduation. i spent a few minutes talking
with her, encouraging her, praising her
character which i believe to be "above and
beyond" the character of the profession, and
just generally trying to cheer her up. "the
law profession NEEDS people like you," i told
her. as a grand finale to my little pep talk,
i said, "everythang gonna be alright baby.
get some sleep and things will look much
better in the morning." then i burst into
the song, "the sun will come out tomorrow..."
etc.

the next morning when we got up (sept. 11) we
saw the first building of the world trade center
smoldering, and watched the TV in shock and sadness
as an airliner flew into the second building and exploded
in flames. i turned to her with a deadpan look on my mug
and said, "see? i TOLD you things would look better this
morning."
