We are off to Colorado for the long holiday weekend (and to celebrate Carson's birthday, ON Memorial Day this year), but I wanted to leave you with this quote from The Reader by Bernhard Schlink:
What is law? Is it what is on the books, or what is actually enacted and obeyed in society? Or is law what must be enacted and obeyed, whether or not it is on the books, if things are to go right?
hmmm, deep thoughts for the long weekend!
