Everybody go out and read "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
Despite what you may have heard before, it's really a story about an upstanding estate planning attorney who comes into the possession of a strange holographic will, and who has to clear multitude ethical hurdles in order to protect his client. There's also a kind of wacky chemist.
So really it's a story about a lawyer and a chemist.
But then it's also about Romans 6 and 7.
And it's short to boot.
I should petition the CalBar to reward my reading with an hour of continuing legal education credit in Legal Ethics and Detection/Prevention of Substance Abuse. It was at least as instructive and certainly more memorable than the seminars I've experienced.

I've read it! And, it wasn't at all what I expected either. It probably didn't help that my local library's copy was bright, neon green and meant to appeal to pre-teens.
Did you ever see the kid's show "Wishbone" on PBS? Most of my literature professors would be distressed if they knew how much the show helped me remember the greats.
Anyway, happy one year anniversary since Oxford, and the Vines, and cream tea.
Emily! Every day I look at my [not-as-good-as-yours] flip-flop tan and think of you. Now that I've been on US soil for a whole 365.5 days consecutively, I'm starting to want to go again...
I missed out on Wishbone. But you do read the real things, too, so your profs should be ok.
