Haiku Friday: Graduation day
It's a big day. I teach Appeals and Habeas at 8, give the commencement address at St. Paul's at 10:30, teach sentencing at 11:45, rush over to the Vanguard practice, then give their commencement speech at 7. Whew!
So, what advice should I give 18-year-olds? That can be our haiku topic. Here is mine:
Care for good, not bad
Don't become that drunk old flop
We turn away from.
Sheesh, you all have to be able to do better than that... just make it 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, then 5 in the third.

All this advice is good. I don't feel like haiku-ing today, but the very basic bit of advice I can think of, based on the recent news about the lacrosse players from my alma mater UVA, is:
Be a good person. Know your weaknesses. If you're a mean drunk, get help, so you don't end up killing your ex-girlfriend in a drunken vengeful rage and ruin your life at age 22.
Sorry to be so dark, but that's all I can think of. Kind of the same advice as 7:39 Anonymous.
