So much to Blog about and so little time!

So I figure that I stick to the important stuff - and not about how my 1-day soup diet diet failed miserably with Chinese & Hot Dogs.

Right, so today I had class from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. - that's right folks, just one hour. And you wanna know what time I got home - 8:30 - yeah - 10 and a half hours later. So here's the kicker - at most I did 4 hours of work....and that's being generous. So what, you ask, did I do with the rest of my day - Well, I'll tell you.....though not productive in the traditional sense - it was very very fulfilling!

I had a collection of conversations, while maintaining my post at the same table in the student lounge.....hour after hour, that were just as valuable as Professional Responsibility in Transnational Litigation. Everything from bicycles seats to Harriet Miers to kittens to puppies.

I got coffee twice - and I saw a guy that I had seen last week totally having a crack attack on the street and fighting with thin air - today he was just pointing at stuff.

I asked a federalist a question that should never be asked "Show me where in the Constitution...." - Of course he did & I quickly capitulated.

I listened to the new O.A.R. cd about 4 times - which consequently...is very good.

I got a Hot Dog from the O's - which consequently...was nasty and overpriced.

But anyway - here's the really important part. This evening I was sitting in a coffee shop, listening to music (O.A.R. Stories of a Stranger, Nasim Joon), drinking coffee while reading Foreign Affairs and the Constitution, as an ambulance raced down Forbes...and I had a reflective moment: Today was such a kick-ass day, not because I got a lot done or because I did anything of relative value for the world, or because it's likely that Tom Delay is going to jail - but because I had a really relaxed long day that filled with little insignificant adventures and casual, but rewarding, conversations with a bunch of really fantastic people.

I really love the regular old ordinary 'good' day.
