Someone captured a video of me teaching a group of writers about contract law. We discussed topics like indemnification, moral turpitude, the statutory right of termination, and more.
Unfortunately, the only thing the writers actually heard is what you hear in the video.
The navy blue outfit I wore that day seemed appropriate at the time. Sorry.
Enjoy!

The years have treated you…well, Steve…
I look at video just found,
and have a thought that might seem odd;
I wonder, is this how we sound
to a smiling, laughing God?
Is all our wisdom, wealth, and travel,
every proud precocious day
reduced to merely childish babble,
something that a babe might say?
We like to think our thoughts are deep,
imbued with dignified free will
as we go bleating on like sheep,
complaints upon a winter hill.
But does He love us any less
even if words He has to guess?
Cindy Fowell
Thought provoking. Thank you for the reminder. Praying for you.
Andrew Budek-Schmeisser
Thanks, Cindy!
Doug Ross
You have never been more clear.
Steve Laube
Doug,
Thank you. Spoken like a true fiend.
I mean, friend!
Steve Laube
Andrew,
Well said.
Andrew Budek-Schmeisser
Thank you, Steve!
Our new Great Dane puppy talks kinda like that.

This is more precious than anything! Makes me smile!

Future storyteller. Pretty cute.

And when he was finished speaking, he sat down.

Gordon Palmer
That’s the clearest you’ve ever taught on that topic. Thanks for sharing your invaluable insights!
Steve Laube
Gordon,
You may be right. The slumped shoulders and vacant countenance of the students as they file out of the class is a clue.
DiAnn Mills
I love this little guy!!!!
Jan Rogers Wimberley
No wonder you became a writer and teacher! Such dynamics and body language. Best hand gestures!
Deborah Raney
You made me LOL! Literally. 😉
Ann Coker
Any mom or dad in your class would understand what you said.
Steve Laube
Ann,
Exactly. Translated as “the best day EVER!”
Marcia Lee Laycock
Well, this is much better than blah, blah, blah! Thanks for the laughs.

In Hawaiian: He mea iki
In Luxembourgish: Gär geschitt
In agent speak: Plixified blither ‘n ooblicoast!
Robyn Renee Monroe
😂 LOL. Ty!
SUSAN BAGGOTT
At the risk of indemnification my moral turpitude requests the statutory right of termination of guilt for rolling on he floor laughing.
Steve Laube
Susan,
Clever!
May need to re-read your termination clause.
Sheri Dean Parmelee, Ph.D.
That’s quite the haircut you’ve got there, Steve.
Steve Laube
Suave AND sophisticated.
It is the way.
Steve Bell
That was hilarious! Thank for the chance to start the day with something as important as moral turpitude. Your body language was so expressive as you drive home your key points.
Patti Lee
Thank you for the best laugh of my day. I don’t remember you in that particular outfit at Mount Hermon. Thank goodness!
