The most improbable of Veggie Tales

After spending last summer in the Boiler Room, and all of this last school year in Alex's mental health law clinic, I've seen the man put away some pretty scary food. Lots of McGrady's and Mel's, and a little bit of Shoneys.

As time went on, Alex repeatedly busted through the limits of the intuitive actuarial models in my head, as I watched him consume ungodly amounts of saturated fats while emphatically shunning unfried vegetables. As he laughed off my inquiries into his cholesterol levels (he's never had them checked!), my concern for LAJC succession planning grew.

Finally, however, I have witnessed some positive signs.

Twice so far this summer I have witnessed Alex eating GREEN SALAD! And not, like, green jello salad...green as in vegetables. Fresh produce! TWICE!

It's not much, mind you...but it's reason for hope.

Keep it up, big guy!
