Exploring the Rugged & Wild

Tomorrow is Earth Day! Take a moment and appreciate nature and the value of a clean, green environment – the earth is truly a beautiful place! Humans are inextricably linked to the ecosystem and the vitality of this world. Our actions not only effect the plants and animals, but ourselves. Global warming and human-induced climate…

I am tired and I am already thinking about sleeping in Saturday morning even though it’s only Thursday and I have to wake up for Property tomorrow. Today seemed much more active than it should be for a one-class day. Right after property I had a CA interview. Next, I read property for tomorrow, read…

Another beautiful Cali day filled with sunshine and a deep blue sky. A slight breeze made for comfortable temps. The NBA match-ups are set for the playoffs and I am really pumped. Chicago looks really good right now and I think they will give the Miami heat a fight. Also, I think Indiana could hang…

It’s Tuesday so it was busy. Lots of class and oral arguments for lrw to top it off. Classes were all interesting today and the oral arguments were really fun. I thought I hammered my argument well, especially the rebuttal. It was a great experience. Maybe I really should chose a litigation career path? Aside…

Busy day today with lots more to do, so this post is going to be short. There is a ton of reading to do for various classes and oral arguments for moot court tomorrow. The picture is related in that it symbolizes the balancing inherent in much of the law, but otherwise I am just…

I am still feeling generally weak, so I made a prophylactic decision to not workout today. Hopefully the rest will allow me to recharge for tomorrow. I’m not sure where…

I just got back from a great Passover meal at my sister Talli’s house in Fremont. Talli and David did an amazing job putting the meal together. As usual, everything was from scratch, and as usual, everything was absolutely delicious. The latkes, the matzo ball soup, the salmon, the spinach dish, and everything else was…

First of all, today was a beautiful California day. Clear blue skies, fresh air (from all that rain), and perfect temperature. It’s about time! I have a feeling there are going to be more days like this from here on out. The highlight of the day was a JLSA potluck seder. I think it turned…

Passover (Pesach in Hebrew) starts this evening. Pesach is an eight-day festival (seven in Israel) commemorating the exodus of the Jews from slavery in ancient Egypt to Israel. The festive home ritual for the holiday is called a Seder and involves a lavish feast. One of the hallmarks of Passover is the consumption of Matzah,…
