When Professor X says he’s going to see an old friend, he means Magneto.
When I say that, I do not mean Magneto, since he and I have never been all that friendly. (Plus, he’s a fictional character, and — call me prejudiced if you will — I count very few fictional characters among my friends.) In this case, it means a friend from law school. Since I won’t have internet access while on the road, that means I probably won’t blog until I get back.
Until then, be sure to vote in my sports poll in the right-hand column.
