Yeah, that's what it really boils down to. Just because he had opportunity to fight, does that mean he had to fight? How much does the potential outcome matter?

Maybe Stephanie's notes will point me in the right direction. This issue/claim preclusion stuff is almost as bad as the rule against perpetuities.

Sorry to burden the board with boring law stuff.

I find this stuff fascinating, as long as I don't have to pass a test on it or have it directly affect me.

Ha! I'm actually working on conflict of laws cases and the procedural/substantive distinction. MAN there was a lot of fucking awful doctrines to learn and then forget in law school. I think conflict of laws was my least favorite thing ever.

Exactly what -t said.

Also, happy birthday to Annabel and get better vibes to Rio.

Beautiful day here. Birds chirping, warm weather, sunny.

I also find it interesting. I'm only not saying anything, because I don't know anything. And that's hard for me. I should get cookies.

Conflicts of laws. I know what the words mean, and that's about it. Are you working on domestic or international law conflicts?

Problems inherent in remote computing:

I think I just sent some of my homework to the printer upstairs in the Provost's office. Oops. Got my name on it, too.

Also, not health- or law-related, but could I get vibes for my achievement-level tracking debate, my Exhibition (or end-of-unit assessment task for a hypothetical 9th-grade Algebra class), and my journal article review presentation? Particularly the last -- almost all the others have been about getting/teaching kids to read or means of assessment, while mine is about a coding system for writing in math classes. I'm going to try to make it generally applicable (I did cut out the bit about "don't abuse the equals sign"), but who knows how well I'll do. Wish me not too many glazed eyes, anyway.

ETA: And for that matter, that the teacher to whom I submit the written article review, who was a reading specialist, will look on my math-specific paper kindly.

Yeah, right on.

Get better, Jeff!!

Note to self: The chicken "caesar" salad from Whole Foods? Eh. The chicken "caesar" salad from Au Bon Pain? Still the winnah.

AND I finally won a free iTunes song for drinking diet pepsi. Phew.

Eh, there are a lot worse things you could have accidently printed. Unless your homework was on duck necrophiliac porn.

I should get cookies.

Hands Cindy a virtual cookie

Also enjoying the legalese. Also, I'd have paid folding money to hear Wapner call a plaintiff or defendent a wanker.
