"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Not hibernating... just consumedBy Mike the Friday Caller, Section Diaries
I feel like a little bit of a jerk for having not made the 7th ward debate tonight. I would have liked to have recorded and reported on it. But, I gotta tell y'all...
This baby thing is something else. She's up till at least three every morning. Ugh. She's a beautiful girl, but when she's got her lungs cranked to full throttle at three AM, well... Anyway... I'm not done making excuses yet. I began taking the required classes for real estate sales people this morning. 8:00 AM to 5 PM. Fun, fun. Real edge of your seat stuff. I tried mainlining espresso. It didn't work. I'll try rubbing habenero peppers on my mucous membranes Friday (next class day)... something's gonna hafta keep me awake. Alright - I'm done with the excuse making. My point is this: I'm gonna do my best to do what I can in terms of bringing you whatever interesting news I can (that you can't get by opening up the TU) with regards to Albany's storied electoral politics. I gotta think that some sort of routine will develop sooner or later. In the meantime, things'll be hit or miss. Finally - I was not accepted off the waitlist by the last law school I had a chance of attending. I'll tell ya... I'm not half as disappointed as I would have been if I had received the news a month ago. Having had Antigone for three weeks, I'm not sure that I'll ever want to take on something as all-consuming as the first year of law school (though I'm positive I will next year). She's been incredible and I'm really looking forward to a year of wondrous discovery as I watch her develop.
