Where do we begin? By the way, I like the term “internet hooligans.” I might steal it some time.—wls

Thanks, Tim. As members of that unique breed of unstressed procrastinators, we need to stick together. Best of luck with your graduate degree, though I suspect you’ve got it well in hand.

Great post, Wes! I have always espoused the same approach to studying and report writing for educational assignments, all the way back to high school. With the exception of the “big” research paper assignment, which required both an outline and proof of extensive use of the library’s card catalog system (remember good ‘ol Dewey Decimal?), I typically cranked out papers the night before they were due. Luckily, I too was a decent writer, and this method also seemed to work perfectly for me. Now, as a forty year old father of two, who is seventeen years into a law enforcement career, I am back in school completing my Master’s degree. With family and work commitments placing immense constraints on my time, having honed those last-minute writing skills over the years is really paying dividends. Maybe we don’t spend as much time immersed in the minutia of the material as other, more “academic” people do, but I personally think that being able to scan the material, quickly identify the important portions, and then utilize them to the fullest is the best “real-world” process one can employ. Kudos to your efforts, my last-minute friend, and keep the good stuff coming.

We wondered if it was a backdoor economic stimulus generated to help the battery, flashlight, bottled water and bread industries. Also if the cry for a state of emergency stimulates the government financial aid for compensation for 2nd homes built in ridiculous places on the beach as well as Insurance industry justification in declaring an “act of God” denial of payment… and yet Katrina still isn’t cleaned up.

Thanks, Max. Mary came home today—minus a chunk of her arm—and is on the mend.

So very sorry to hear of your loss.

… to think when I first moved to the area and I saw him picking up trash – for what I assumed was the recycling value!

A tree has fallen, but the root system and nurse log lives. May your grief be smoothed by your knowing he lives on in you and yours.

and I am curious, what is your full name?
