Big Ups to Franz, the Girth and Melissa for surviving the crucible of law school at their respective institutions. I've always instinctively felt that my social network was an above-average galaxy of connections (world-class, if you must know), but seeing so many friends power through a ritual experience that often results in washout, breakdown and/or general psychosis makes me proud. It's evidence of excellence.

Plus, it's good to know that when the shit hits the fan, I'll have some litigators I can call.
