When There's Nothing to Give, How Can You Ask for More?

Since the graduation-type thing is still a week and a half away, I guess today is not technically the end of the law school journey, but the last day of class sure feels like a momentous occasion.

I went back and read my post from the first evening after classes begin in August '06, and I must say, it feels like that scene from the "Why We Fight" episode in Band of Brothers where Sergeant Perconte is talking to Private O'Keefe during their shift at a roadside checkpoint.

Private O'Keefe is fresh off of a transport ship from England. He's excited to be a part of the mission, and all he wants to do is kill some Germans. Private O'Keefe, I would like to introduce to Justin Scott-circa August 2006.

Sergeant Perconte is a little less enthused to be there in Germany, to say the least. Perconte's been in the service for 3 years, and the prospect of the mission has lost a significant part of its luster. More than anything, Sgt. Perconte wants a hot shower, hot chow, and a trip home.
Sgt. Perconte, I believe you recognize Justin Scott-circa April 2009.

Why Major Dick Winters, ahem, Damian Lewis might just be the GREATEST actor of our time...

He married actress Helen McCrory on 4 July 2007 and has a daughter, Manon (born September 2006), and a son, Gulliver (born November 2007). They currently reside in Los Angeles. A well-known Liverpool fan; he was spotted performing the "Torres Bounce" in The Albert Pub, shortly before the Liverpool vs Chelsea Champions League Semi-Final First Leg of 22/04/2008.

P.S. Many thanks to Mr. Andrew Tuegel for bringing the Lewis-Liverpool connection to my attention.
