A Message From Josh

Subject: Vacationing in the Queens County Courthouse

If you’re reading this on April 9, it means you have the misfortune of being in your home or office while I, existing on a higher plane of existence, experience the many splendors of the Queens County Municipal Court System as I prostrate before the alter of civil society to fulfill that most sacred obligation of judicial service. Until you have eaten lunch near the Queens County Courthouse, you do not know what it means to live. Jury duty illuminates C.S. Lewis’ argument in The Problem of Pain, notably, that “either there is no spirit behind the universe, or else a spirit indifferent to good and evil, or else an evil spirit.”

    Oh, I don’t know, I think that your tie matches one of the cars on the freight train going by in the right of the photo. That’s nice isn’t it.

    I think it would have been better if Josh coordinated his tie to match the rust colored train cars.

    Rust-colored ties are hot.

    Hey, how has Matt escaped general humilation in the form of embarrasing pictures? He is after all the one who started this.
