Lawyer-Geek in San Diego
June 27, 2007

As I write this post, I am in sunny San Diego, CA attending the annual conference of the National Association of College and University Attorneys. I won’t bore you with all the lawyer-geek stuff that I’m pumped about…suffice it to say, I’m in higher education law paradise!
And San Diego is beautiful! It’s sunny and 70 [...]

Tony LaRussa Bobble-Head
June 21, 2007

I visited St. Louis, MO in April and purchased a Tony LaRussa bobble-head. For those who don’t know, Tony LaRussa is the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, which is my favorite baseball team.

Waking Up
June 2, 2007

I’m not a morning person, so imagine my surprise when I woke up at 2:30 a.m. on Thursday night/Friday morning after only 3 hours of sleep and felt like I had the energy of a five-year-old hopped up on chocolate and kool-aid. I tried to make myself tired by watching TV without my glasses, but [...]
