I will take my monstrous CivPro final I think Tuesday. And the even-more monstrous take-home essay final for ConLaw is due end of the week. Then I am done for this semester. Staggered certainly but still standing probably.

My Xmas gift is here. All I wanted or needed. A 24’ x 18’ maple cutting board (1 1/2 thick) from John Boos. Have to oil it a lot, let it soak in. Then clear more room for its new home. To say I’m excited is to smother the word ‘excited’ with a pillow of murderous understatement.

Chilly rainy day calls for the spicy and savory and warming doenjang chigae: Korean stew with potatoes, onions, garlic, daikon radish, tofu, lots of gochugaru pepper flakes, and doenjang (fermented soy paste). It’s a top five dish here in Skinnerville. Always welcome.

Law school final, the professor says we can use AI in limited parts of essay but with extensive documentation of what AI did etc etc. Most of us are not using that great opportunity cuz AI is worse than a useless scam. It’s an error-riddled scam. Not today, Satan, not today.
