Machine Embroidery
We will skip that portion of the day which has to do with adding coolant to the car, finding the line at Acme Bakery more than 2 blocks long and quick stops at both Safeway’s Community Market (nee Andronico’s) for … Continue reading
Rolling in
after midnight, I was more than ready to get some sleep (oh, let’s say…~200). So why did I wake up at 0430 in the morning? At least I didn’t have any trouble going back to sleep and staying out cold … Continue reading

Well, I thought it was
a bright idea. After all, an hour on the bus has got to be better than 2 ½, right? Easy peasy, I had changed my flight to depart from Orlando, the closer airport. The USO was lovely and welcoming. The … Continue reading

Diversions
AKA – non-frolic and detour. The Rhapsody is scheduled to dock in Tampa on the 22nd. Or should I say, it WAS scheduled to dock in Tampa. It seems like there is lousy weather headed into Tampa with the resulting … Continue reading

I should be studying
At least that is what I am telling myself. So far I have reviewed five pages of outlines, several misc. documents, read through my notes, played computer games and skimmed some junk genre fiction. So much for good intentions. And … Continue reading

Not the right size
On my list of things to do today – SF Passport office and rescue my new passport. Considering that I turned in the paperwork on Monday, I thought it was a pretty good deal, even with the $60 expedited fee. … Continue reading

First Exam
Law schools make a huge production out of exams. Seriously huge. I don’t remember anything, including National Boards or Specialty Exams that were this much of a production. Of course, those were also in the paper/pencil days and did not … Continue reading

Con Law II
The first of my final exams for the semester is this Wednesday. I haven’t even bothered to look and see if it is morning or afternoon. It doesn’t matter at this point and by then I think all the material … Continue reading

They won
Up front, I am not much of a football fan. US football just so there is not any confusion. I don’t detest it the way I do boxing (no excuses, a sport where you win by inflicting brain damage on … Continue reading

A full house
It was fun, an almost full house between having family members in town, some friends from the public health class and a number of my fellow students from UCHastings (the Exchange and LLM programs). Needless to say, there was more … Continue reading

Registration
I don’t know where my mind was this morning. Or rather, I think I left it steeped in the cup of coffee forgotten on my dresser. Somewhere in the back of my mind was the thought that I needed to … Continue reading

And occasional areas of smoke
or more than occasional as is the reality. You have heard weather reports in the past – cloudy, raining, partly sunny? Or some variation of the above? Unless, of course you live in Hawaii and get a report that says … Continue reading

Veteran’s Day
