Last night on the redeye back from berkeley (apartment bought, in little more than 24 hours...) the man sitting next to me graduated from harvard 9 years ago and lived in Adams "back when it meant something." Crazy what a small world it is. He's a lawyer and was attempting to write this brief on his laptop, but since there is very little room on ATA flights and the person in front of him was leaning the whole way back to sleep, he didn't really have room for the laptop and the papers he was trying to read, and the affect was slightly comical if unfortunate. Before he could turn his computer on we chatted briefly about the pledge case (he'd clerked in the 9th circuit) and some other legal news as well as random Harvard things. It does remind one what sort of connections this silly name can bring... Anyway I then fell asleep.
