- I had the opportunity to walk through my alma mater today, UCLA School of Law. And I was struck by the remembrance of all the dreams and idealization of the profession when I first started. Then, I was reminded of my class mates, some of whom have gone on to very prominent positions in the profession. While Law School generally doesn't teach us about The Business of Law, it does instill the caring and nurturing that lawyers have for clients. |

- After three months of detention on suspicion of terror-related er... stuff, James Yee was released from prison only to be slapped with unrelated adultery and pornography charges, leaving his family and friends feeling both relief and outrage. When Yee was arrested on Sept. 10th, the media-fanned (and leak-motivated) outcry implied the worst - a sensitive military position abused by a Muslim "fifth column." Only afterwards was Yee charged with significantly minor offences... |

- It's not easy waking up Muslim in America anymore. After Sahoor (the morning pre-dawn meal) and Fajr (morning prayers), my Ramadan morning ritual concludes with a quick read of the New York Times. It's not easy reading the Times anymore. It's not easy having your faith alternately debated, dissected, patronized, praised, condemned, analyzed, and questioned every single morning. It's not easy wading through the now-daily Times special section - "A Nation Challenged" - devoted more... |

Long love (Nov 30 2003 04:51 GMT) - A pair of dear friends of ours, R&KS, were married on November 26, 1943, and we had the joy of celebrating their 60th anniversary with them today. In the afternoon there was a lovely ceremony, to which everyone in the church was invited. R -- who was attended by the woman who was her little flower girl sixty years ago! -- wore her wedding dress, a very traditional silk gown decorated with pearl chrysanthemums and a long train which was made for her mother's wedding in China (where her parents were missionaries) in 1913. That gown has been worn by three generations -- R's mother, R, and R's daughter, who married in the 1960s -- and R wears it again whenever she celebrates a special anniversary. |

- It's 20 years down the road but Eddie Wilson's music is heating up the charts in a way it never did in the old days. The a-holes at the record company have even found some unreleased music Eddie made without the Cruisers--but was it made before or after he drove off that bridge? Meanwhile Eddie is alive, living in Montreal under a new name, working construction, making music only for himself.Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! |
