beer bashes live again

My law school had a beer bash today!

This was very nostalgic for me. I remember the halcyon days of engineering, when beer bashes were a frequent part of a regular work day, and we weren't old enough to realize we'd still have to do the work we missed while attending the beer bash. (bummer, that.) It was a sunny day, the baby lawyers were happy, and all was well.

So there I am, chatting with a youngish looking student, a very nice guy, and at some point his age comes out. He is 20. As in Two-Oh, born in 1983.

I guess it had never occurred to me that there might be people in law school who can't legally drink. I would have thought, given the sloshy reputation of the profession, that being at least of legal drinking age would be some sort of requirement.

Nice guy though, even though I now feel only slightly younger than the Himalayas.

Don't feel bad. You're not the only one. We have those at my law school too and it is funny to see those 20 somethings come to class afterwards and get called on for recitation. Their stupidity makes my day.
