A long day of classes started at 8 am this morning. Fortunately, they still had the free tea service going and I two-fisted some Numi Jasmine Green Tea that did the waking-up job. A firm graciously provided a fajita buffet lunch that was delicious. Let’s just say I had my fair share. After Trademark class…

Coal Mining
It’s set! Mark and I will be writing our research paper for the Lawyering for Social Change course on litigation associated with the environmental harms of coal mining. The practice of “mountaintop removal” of coal mines in the Appalachian mountains destroys landscapes, obliterates forests, and pollutes streams. The fight to protect the Appalachian Mountains is…
Tamalpais Photos
Not much to report on this “normal” Tuesday. I had a fun interview in the morning and went on a 48 minute run in the evening (Oak Creek run). I felt decent for having run the dish pretty hard yesterday. Tomorrow I plan on lifting at Arrillaga, but I need to start thinking about when…
The Mansion in Marin
Today featured the first day of patents class (it’s on the quarter system). The reading was interesting and it sounds like it will continue to be so. This afternoon I ran the dish as part of 46+ minute run, with 21:30 gate to gate, and then worked the abs and biceps a little at Arrillaga….
Sweet SLLSA Retreat

The…

Undergrads arriving!
8 am. The screaming, yelling, and annoyingness begins. The freshman class of undergrads is arriving and that means I get woken up early. It was pretty bad. I thought it would end, but it didn’t so I begrudgingly got up and made breakfast. I couldn’t even concentrate on any reading so I was forced to…
Saturday Exercise
Aside from some reading, surfing the web, and just plain sitting around, I ran the Dish loop and went to Arrillaga gym for a little weights. The weather was idyllic for a dish run and I enjoyed it. The ascent of the hills are getting much easier now that I am running it consistently (physically…
