Birthday Boy
It's my birthday this week.
It won't be the gala affair it was last year, as commemorated in the
picture on the left, but I'm still taking the day off.
Well, I didn't mean that my birthday is all week long. It was actually on Tuesday, but it was easier
(and better) to take a Friday off. My
lovely bride and I had originally planned to go hiking in the Metroparks, but
since the current weather trends make a trek through Death Valley seem like a better
alternative, we'll do something inside, maybe hit the Art Museum or take in a
movie. (By the way, we've been to Death
Valley. That's a picture I took of
it. Fascinating place.) The new pope has spent the last few weeks anointing
past popes for sainthood. He should've included
the guy who invented air conditioning.
One of the things I won't be doing is anything involving
law. In fact, I'll probably go to a
four-day-a-week posting schedule for the rest of the summer; with the US
Supreme Court out of session, and no arguments scheduled in the Ohio Supreme Court
until summer, there's not as much to write about. I've got some things on tap for next
week: my hotly anticipated review of
SCOTUS' decisions, how Ariel Castro could have made Tim McGinty and other
prosecutors think twice about loaded indictments, and an 8th District decision
declaring unconstitutional the provision of the sexual battery statute which
prohibits peace officers from having sex with minors. (If you're wondering what the connection is
there, you've got a leg up on understanding the decision.) But that's for next week. Meantime, enjoy the day. I will.
