Today in 1809, the greatest president of the United States of America was born. Abraham Lincoln. Staggering intellect. Staggering will. Staggering empathy. I am in awe of his unparalleled writings and his indomitable will, and his insistence that we be better than we have been

Home. History’s greatest monster, MeanCat, met me in his gardens and escorted me back to his porch. I was on the phone and so no video but he was extremely flirty mcgurty, which we all know is super dangerous.

Home. Long day. But it ended with my meeting the granddaughter of the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, which made me stop whining about law school for a while.

It helps me understand why the state does or doesn’t use evidence. And testimony for elements of the crime. It’s very different than investigating and solving the murders, for sure.

Long property law class. Oh bot, the rule against perpetuities. Then a meeting with my classmate about divvying up the work for mock trial in a few weeks. Then loving on the Blacky Whiteys in the cottage. I really don’t want to be in law school right now. And real court tomorrow. But oh well.

During our classes at Cleveland State later this month, we have a mock trial thingy, with direct/cross examinations, and rules of evidence. It’s rare but sometimes I know what I’m doing. One of those times will be that mock trial.

I just read what I’ve tried to live. And no one will care, which is fine to me, because it’s not a solution, it’s a path.

Yeah. I’ve done all of his techniques. Now I just press the tofu for 30 minutes. Slice and blot with paper towel. And pan fry in wok with very little oil. No coating. Nothing. And it comes out great. Wok-ey is beyond non stick. Of course, cook in batches. Don’t crowd the wok.
