Craig’s a writer – he always has been. He published his first short story (on vampires) when he was still knee high to a grasshopper (or in elementary school). He continues to scribble life’s little adventures in his traveler’s notebooks, of which he has many. I’m sure there’s a bunch of good stuff in the 20 or so books he has scattered in his apartment.
Even more, he’s a researcher. He’s already published a few articles on the economic loss rule, and is preparing another critique on the archaic and confusing language courts use when doling out opinions on duties arising under torts and contracts. I awoke to him marking some paper and asked if he was working. His response: well, if cancer gets me, I at least want to get this article on economic loss finished. We always say Craig is our father’s son. He seems to really enjoy the teaching moments that come up in life. Why he hasn’t tried the lecture circuit is beyond me, but I hope he has the opportunity to finish this article, and to continue exploring various aspects of law, philosophy, and whatever else comes up along the way. The problem now is balancing time, and life’s other responsibilities. If this morning is any indication, perhaps cancer has given him the incentive to say screw it, and get on with the things that make him most happy.
But why the so-called writer hasn’t ‘bothered’ with the blog is beyond me. Kidney cancer…pfff, I’ve heard better.
