I saw Scott Turow speak tonight about the death penalty. It was not that interesting. He has a new book about the death penalty. I hope it's more interesting than his speech. Left in the middle.

Imaginary Q: "Wait a minute. I go to Harvard too. Scott Turow wasn't there tonight."

People with too much time on their hands can probably figure out where. It doesn't really matter where, though. The only point of my post was that Scott Turow's speech wasn't that interesting and I left in the middle."

Imaginary Q: "So that's all you have to write today?"

A: "I don't know. Let's see..."
