Well, today begins what is likely to be the last, first day of class for the Learned Sergeant.
Additionally, today was the first day of school for the little motivator. Without going into specifics, I must say that I enjoy the belligerence afforded me by a slight legal education. In these moments I find myself channeling my inner Jubal Harshaw and smiling.
There have been times in my life when I blushed at the enormous student loan debt and cynicism I found in law school. On those days I question whether law school was the worst decision of my life. But days like today when I can use my education to empower and protect those I love, well, they make up for it all.
One of the happy realizations that strike me from time to time is that 90% of the time my legal knowledge makes me the freest man in the room. I imagine the other 10% is owed to John Moses Browning and the 1911 on my hip.
