My Favorite Two Words R – So What? One of my law professors once called me a Miscreant, and Irncould not get mad until I looked it up. It turns out I was evil, depraved, wicked, and base.

There are those that say "the older you get, the harder it is / the longer it takes to learn." Then there are those that say "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
