ambivalent comment

You will be missed during this break so I hope it helps you find the refreshed perspective you seek. You may have noticed that I have recently avoided lengthy examinations of political events; like you, I find current events quite depressing and dispiriting, and almost surreal. However, my "break" from this human folly has come from focusing on other things, including reform of legal education so that it's not as empty and disappointing as you've found it. Perhaps you would like to be involved in a "Law School Can Be Different" conference project? Check in on my site and especially here for more on this to come. Meanwhile, enjoy your break. I hope you pop in once in a while to tell us about the birds, the bodybuilding, and the books you read. Politics and human folly are not the only blogworthy subjects in your arsenal....
