I'm still publishing, still presenting at seminars. I'll do that even if I quit teaching. But I'm wondering if I love teaching too much to be able to be happy with life if I always have just one foot in paradise, though ideally I can find some position that merges teaching and law. Time will tell, but after more than a decade, I'm re-evaluating my life and my life's goals one more time. Easter Sunday is always hard.

At that point she burst into tears and fled the meeting. I realize they want to make death real to the audience, in order to make the resurrection more meaningful, but it can be hard on those to whom death is real. I've had a lot of thoughts and as I get older, doors keep closing. I was seeking some angst over the things that might have been, but never worked out, and I realized that in comparison to burying my daughters the other things don't matter. And, on balance, I enjoyed Easter this year.
