Prof Crim, devout Red Sox fan, was absent with "the flu" yesterday (the day after game 5 went almost 6 hrs) and predicts that he will likewise be absent tomorrow (after game 7 is played tonight). Meanwhile the 2 lectures he managed this week were "mystifying clouds of words". If the Red Sox go to the world series he might as well take a leave of absence, he's no use to us in this condition.

Meanwhile I got gossip this morning that a classmate who sits in front of me in Torts has dropped out of law school altogether. There hasn't even been a graded assignment yet and this guy threw in the towel. I guess if I'd already paid I'd have stuck it out and see how I did on the exams, but ... to each his own.
