“So, you lawyerly types- is there any such thing as an absolute law, not open to interpretation?”

Yes, loads of them. Just not the interesting ones.

I don’t know, M4L. Is that the key to your resilience and perky attitude? Unfortunately at a tender age, I decided that Mets were too polyester for me (hated the uniforms) that in addition to the more important fact that I have been a Yankee fan since I am not even going to tell you (let’s just say some of my idols have monuments behind the outfield) so it’s not easy to change.

Hey, the JETS WON…

I went to sign up for a gym. With my little buzz on, I spent 15 minutes talking to a fast talker who kept using my first name maybe 15 times at NYSC and found out about a cheapie deal I can do. I actually have to “be” here for a while, 2, 3 (?) months (will find out at some point) but can’t officially do anything new, so I will be going to “appointments” down there to get in shape between job interviews and continuing to follow markets.

My fantasy? To get signed up for a new gig, and go to Havana, then Montevideo and then Buenos Aires. It’s SUMMER there!!!!!!

bx — in civil law countries (non-UK Europe, e.g.), the courts apply civil law to facts to resolve disputes, but they do not set precedents. I can’t figure out how they do that without interpretation but that is the theory. Common law courts and our S.Ct. do.

ANyway, gotta run.
