Everything happens for a reason

Yesterday, I was reading an newletter I get in my email with links to interesting news stories when I ran across this article about Sandra O'Connor retiring. I was somewhat surprised that a Supreme Court Justice was retiring, especially one other than Rehnquist, who everyone seem to thinks is dying. I was even more surprised, when I actually read the article, to find out that the Baltimore County State's Attorney is named Sandra O'Connor, and was, after 30 years, retiring. So it turns out the initial headline mislead me and the Supreme Court remain as is for a bit longer.

This morning while I was in the shower, I heard a news report on the radio that Sandra Day O'Connor was retiring from the Supreme Court. I started laughing, thinking that the radio folks had made the same mistake I had, but taken it a step further and actually reported it on the radio. But when I got to my computer I saw this article about Sandra Day O'Connor's resignation. Reading the article, I realized how thankful I am that I don't have to wear a long black robe to work every day.
