A friend posted this sage advice to people about the take the bar exam, like yours truly: RELAX. Yes, it’s overwhelming. Yes, there is a huge amount of material, much of it obscure. But, you know what? If you study diligently, you will pass.

Sarah and I went with two mutual friends to an Indiana casino, tonight. The guys played poker while the ladies played $0.02 slots. I did well at poker, while my counterpart lost only a little.

It just worked out that the only flight I could book (late) was through Knoxville and Nathan’s family was getting together in [...]

I spent the weekend (Friday through this morning) visiting my sister and brother-in-law. The weekend was lots of fun. I caught up with my good friends Brooke and Sarah (whom I’ve known probably longer than anyone else my age) and finally met some of my sister’s friends I knew only in name.

I don’t know how I forgot this; two of my dearest friends, Bryan and Kristine Vermillion, delivered a healthy, baby boy, today. Congratulations, Bryan and Kristine!
