Today was a sad day for nerds like me.  It was my last day of Ethics and Law.  Everything we do in that class interests me.  I think most of my classmates agree.

Craig LaMay, our professor, is a fantastic professor.  He’s a guy who knows his shit.  I was very surprised that he doesn’t have a JD…he dropped out of law school.  He then started a trucking company with some of his friends.  Then he went into journalism.  It’s an interesting story, for sure.  I’d like to get to know him better.  He seems like a terrific reference moving forward–I can’t say enough how much I love that class.  The readings are thought-provoking, and I always feel engaged during class.  Can’t always say that in other areas of education.  Basically, Craig kicks ass–and he probably could.  He’s a rugged-looking dude who wears work boots to class.  I wouldn’t fuck with him.

So now I’m in editing, 45 minutes from leaving.   I’ll head to a happy hour with a few of my friends from class before I ship off on a bus to good old Mentor, OH.  Tomorrow I will be playing with my brother’s dogs, and Thursday I will be stuffing my face with turkey and falling asleep to football.  I’m more or less caught-up with school work, and plan to do some stuff over break to get ahead for the following week.  I have a two finals Tuesday after break, and one the following Monday.  None should be too difficult.

In summary, life is good.   Happy Thanksgiving.
