Nothing is more important than family

I know there are those of you out that that would disagree with me, but I have resolved myself to the idea that you will never be satisfied by anything anyway. For the rest of you, cherish your time with your loved ones. Forgive old grudges and realize we are here but for a moment, and those moments will go by much faster than you think they will. Where does this depth come from you ask? My family has been sequestered 2000 miles away for almost 6 weeks now, and it should be known that life is much more fulfilling with them around. Their absence has taught me the value of family, and that there is little that can replace them. So for those of you who heed this message, tell your loved ones how special they are and adjudicate your grievances among our family members (should you have any). And for those of you who (as usual) disagree with me, enjoy that half-empty glass.

Checkin in

I know I have not been around, but finals are coming up, I am writing motions, and trying to do all of that in between trips to the west coast (they have sunshine there). I did notice that North Korea has found the time to start firing rockets over Japan. Who says we can't have a global harmony?
