Keep Hope Alive
By Jim Dallas
During torts class today, about half the class (as far as I could tell) was paying only intermittent attention to the lecture, instead watching the Cubs lose to Cincinatti through the magic of streaming video. (On the other hand, I was barely paying attention because I kept falling asleep; I've gotten on to a really weird sleep schedule, and the "causation" chapter isn't exactly barn-burning excitement.)
At any rate, it's Wild Card Season, and the Astros are now in first place, with the Cubs and Giants a half-game down.
The Astros play the Rockies next, and if they blow up now, I'll be even more heartbroken than usual.
Oh yeah, the first presidential debate is tonight.
How can we possibly be expected to learn in such an environment?

You think that's bad, my first year at UT Law School was during the OJ Simpson trial, so local news reporters kept busting into the hallways to ask us what we thought.
Of course, we had all been making outlines and reading and drinking at the Crown and ANchor, so most of the interviewees professed a legitimate ignorance of that spectacle.
