900 days of Dutch and Korean!

Most of that is Dutch, but I'm basically at the point of pleasantries in Korean now.

And on the seventh day of vacation, Ernie died.

I was there at his beginning and his end. He was not an easy dog to care for: one year away from us became 9 years of precautions. There were lighthearted moments and he finally got along with his mother, Current, toward the end of her abbreviated life. He was smart, strong, and handsome. The new house provided a better system for him, too: his worst behaviors were mitigated and he was happier.

And then in another binder, this one from 2003, I find papers used in my high school senior research paper about the digital millennium copyright act (DMCA). It's hard to believe that we're approaching 30 years of a law that so many people thought would be repealed in the mid-2000s.
