On Tuesday, Jennifer and I went to Career Day at Angel Oak elementary school, to tell 4th-6th graders about being a lawyer. We made up a little skit trial about the dog eating a kid’s homework and had a fake robe and a gavel and some candy. I bought the candy at CVS on my way to [...]

Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the Tony’s tonight. I really, really, really like Neil Patrick. Sigh. Too bad I’m not his type. Otherwise I really think we could make it work. Gah.
