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 have six interviews lined up at various points during my stay, but interviewing is kinda fun.

Exercise: I ran the Dish yesterday and Oak Creek run today. The Dish run yesterday (usual 46 minute) was a bit more windy than I would like, but I felt pretty good and really picked it up on the part after finishing the hills (I guess the wind was behind me at that point). Today I managed to squeeze in a run between Corporations and Patents. The Intellectual Property marathon that spans my Wednesday afternoon and evening was fun. IP for strategy companies featured a patent licence negotiation session over some pizza. I decide negotiation and deal making is some fun stuff; especially when large sums of $$$ are involved!

Tomorrow is going to be another busy one with class starting at 8 am and wrapping up with Trademark class until 3:45 pm. Then, it’s time to catch a taxi to take me to the airport and fly out Seattle.
