Today was a normal Monday with the usual class and reading. I have just started writing my research paper on the mountaintop coal mining cases (mainly from the interviews conducted so far) and it has been interesting. In addition, we’ve got two more potential interviews to do for the project. Hopefully we will interview an…

Payoff Run
Today I had the pleasure of having a great run – a payoff run. The weather was perfect on this crisp autumn day, complete with beautiful clear skies and a light breeze. I did the Oak Creek run, putting in 48 minutes of running. It’s not that I necessarily blasted it, I just felt really…
Summer Job
I know, it’s not even November, but yesterday I got a summer associate offer from a great firm and I am excited for the experience. I interviewed a lot in Seattle and in the Silicon Valley area, but I realized that the best place for the type of work that is of most interest to…
Time Flies!
Time flies! It feels like I just finished last week and now this week of classes is finished. I guess it’s a factor of my overall business. It’s just like undergrad in that every semester feels like it goes by faster. There is basically a little over a month left of classes and then finals….
Alpine Club Slideshow
Yesterday I gave a slideshow for the Stanford Alpine Club. The show included 400 of my photos from climbs in the Cascade Mountains last summer (primarily North Cascades National Park). I talked about fast and light climbing along with the impact of climate change on the mountains. I think the people who came enjoyed it….
Cali Coast
View of Lover’s Point, Pacific Grove, CA (Photo by Jim Finney) I just got back from an awesome weekend at my sister’s new residence in Monterey, CA. It was a fun time and I enjoyed touring the sights of Monterey and neighboring town, Pacific Grove. The weather was beautiful with just enough marine influence to…
Much Better
The run today felt much better. The muscles near my shins did not tighten (or cramp) and I felt much smoother. I did the Oak Creek route for a total of 48+ minutes of running. The stabilizer ligament above my ankle is a little sore as are my legs in general, so tomorrow I am…
NFL Sunday
The Seahawks had me nervous the entire game today. In the first half, it was looking like a repeat of the dismal performance of two weeks ago, but the Seahawks pulled it together in the 3rd quarter. Just when I thought they were about to wrap it up, a fumble, and the Rams take the…
Tamar Photos
Nothing really interesting went down today aside from laziness, reading, a workout at Arrillaga, and more laziness. The workout at Arrillaga was actually good, working mainly shoulders. I somehow didn’t run today even though I had all day to do it, but I definitely plan on running tomorrow. Well, I guess it’s time to do…
Seattle
Tomorrow I fly up to Seattle for a week of callback interviews, relaxation, fun, and some law reading. It should be fun to spend some time at home during the fall. It has been 5 years since I have been in Seattle between September and December! It will not be a hectic-free week as I…
