I had the joy of being a debate judge on Saturday - it was the Appleton tournament and Mrs. Tritz was as sweet and energetic as always. I guess she got the board to up the pay, so I raked in a sweet $60 (hey, that's 10 hours of K-Mart compared to 4 hours of controlling the fates of tiny Novice debate geeks-in-training) :)

Anyways, a good time was had by all. Although I wanted to kill the last group that I judged, if not for killing me with boredom than for (the neg side) arguing (weakly) that rape/honor killings as an integral part of culture are not human rights violations that need intervention.. and the affs for being so horrible that I had to award the round to the negs whom I so despised. Ack.
