I recently told a joke with a friend of mine. The two of us have been habitually unhappy in love. Recently the both of us have, for some reason, had an upswing in our lives. He has a girlfriend that, as far as I can tell, is great for him. I've started dating a girl that, as far as I can tell, is pretty fantastic. She's pretty, funny, and way smarter than I am. Which is definitely my type. Granted it's not hard to find someone smarter than me, but you know. Today, I went to a party for two of my friends who got married today. They're both awesome and completely deserve each other for better or worse. He's goofy and she's sweet. At the party, I met a bunch of old friends and had a grand old time.

"Something must be wrong," I remarked to my friend. "We're both dating pretty sane girls and we're both happy. There's got to be a catch somewhere. Somewhere, an orphanage is burning down to even out the karma out there."

I look back on my education at UGA with fondness. Dr. Fran Teague was my faculty advisor when I was going through the English program. She's a genius and has the greatest sense of humor. She taught me Shakespeare.

Her husband, along with two others, was shot and killed yesterday.

All I can say is that, as dumb and useless as they are, my prayers are with Dr. Teague, her family, and the families of the other victims.
