In terms of a fresh perspective on a few things I've studied so far, a la the brief update I posted involving civil procedure and depositions, I came up with a good analogy for describing the difference between contract defenses and contract excuses. In contract defenses, you're talking about situations that prevent a legally binding contract from ever being formed in the first place (there is no contract), but excuses are for situations where there clearly is a valid contract, but something just came up that makes it really difficult or impossible for one side to perform (there is a contract though). Sort of like this clip from The Matrix.
In other positive news, and on a more serious note, I received this email the other day from the International Campaign for Tibet regarding HH XIV Dalai Lama's 79th birthday on July 6th. You can send your pledge to keep your mind and heart more compassionate here. Also, the Dalai Lama's laugh is just pure contagious happiness.
Aaaand, I thought of a much better summer song than what I've been playing. Can't go wrong with this.
Kodachrome! Give us those nice bright colors That give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
