Sleepy Hollow

What a week. Lindy, Molly, not-fluffy, and I have finally completed our move out of the city. First, I would like to thank my former apartment and all my former roommates (Dan Welch, Iain, Frankie, and Fluffy X) for all the wonderful memories over the past four years. Growing up I always wanted to live in NYC and I can consider that particular life goal completed. Our new apartment is in the village of Sleepy Hollow (yes, the setting for the headless horseman) in Westchester County (about 25 minutes north of NYC). Our new address is:

209 Wirth Avenue, 2nd Floor
Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591

The move was particularly grueling and I wanted to thank my sister for lending me her SUV and Dan Welch for helping me move most of my stuff. I’m just glad it all over. Well, we still have to deal with the new place, unpacking, and assorted other ridiculousnesses. Hopefully everything will be ready for Molly’s arrival. Speaking of, my first Lamaze class is tonight.

Do think it was just a coincidence I moved to a town that prominently features the word “Sleepy”?

The Truth must be told!
Dan makes it sound like it was just a normal grueling move... I suppose all moves are grueling but he neglected to mention that considering my advanced state of pregnancy I was almost no help at all and that he almost singlehandedly moved ALLLLL of our stuff - (yes, the majority of it is my stuff...) box after box after heavier and heavier box. First down 3 flights, then walk back up the 3 flights to get more stuff then drive the stuff to the new place and then up another flight and then back to Manhattan to do it all again. IN THE RAIN.
AND in addition to all this there was a busy week at work and finals at school. And he didn't even complain about having to do all this work to move into an apartment he didn't even like all that much.
We weren't completely alone in this endeavor- the other perpetrator of heroics - Dan Welch- to whom we bow down with praise and gratitude gave up his weekend and came over to slog up and down stairs and through traffic to help transport our plethora of crap and to him we are so very eternally grateful. It wasn't even his crap!
I nominate them both for sainthood or pope or lottery winner.

Free Shakespeare Tickets - Contest #3

My girlfriend and I have two extra tickets to Much Ado About Nothing in the park tonight (Saturday August 7). Since we thought selling free tickets was a little unethical, we decided to have a contest to see who needs them the most. So, if you are interested please go to http://danlipka.blogspot.com/ and post a comment that best describes why you want/need the tickets. The stories can be made up, but you have to specifically say if it is fictional (true stories carry more weight than fiction, but creativity is also a good thing). If you have any questions post them on the blog or email them to me. Tickets can be picked up on the upper east side or by the theater. Contest ends at 6:00 unless something changes, (well maybe at 5:30). Good Luck. 6:14 - It's all over. We have selected and contacted the winners. I’m sorry to all those who weren’t chosen, as you all were deserving of the tickets. To those couples that couldn’t get to go, I say to spend the night together, have a roma

The Constitution and Justice

When the Supreme Court rules, they often struggle to understand the depth and meanings in some of the words or phrases in the Constitution. However, the Founders provided very clear language as to what they were trying to accomplish from a vision standpoint. Although not the law, the Preamble provides critical guidance that should be the first reference for any court ruling. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Specifically, the word "Justice". It is the very first thing they wanted to establish. Justice should be the defining feature of any law, and anything that increase injustice should be unconstitutional. The very first question at any Supreme Court hearing should always be

Lessons from History - Democracy

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time" - Winston Churchill I am currently reading biographies on each of the US Presidents. I'm only on Madison, but I've learned some incredible insights into the dysfunctions of our government. Since the Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777, politicians and the wealthy have been constantly undermining justice, equality, and the idea that they should prioritize the good of the nation above all else. The disgraces of current politicians are nothing new and have been part of US political culture since our country's founding. For example, the southern states refused to adopt the constitution unless it counted enslaved people at 3/5 of a person for the purposes of having more ele
