Justice
About 10 years ago, I had the privilege of attending an evening with Justice Stephen Breyer at the Central Library in Los Angeles. The venue was relatively small and intimate, with only about 150 people in the room. It was an inspiring and uplifting experience. I remember thinking of that period of time as one of turmoil, though nowhere as politically fraught as it is today. But Breyer remained optimistic. “We’ve been through worse,” he said, as he held up his pocket edition of the Constitution. I’ll never forget it.

Just another day in L.A.
It makes me chuckle when I see dogs donning coats in L.A., where the temperature rarely drops below 50.
