How sad is it when your mother calls because you haven't been blogging? Apparently, no entries means a non-zero chance that I may have fallen down a well or something.
In a way, I suppose I have, but it's a blissful well created by my new computer setup. That's right, I've actually been engaging in my hobby for the first time in years, and it's pretty sweet. But I've also been trying to get involved with the local bar, work on cases (which can be pretty exhausting), and all the other things that tend to push blogging out of the way.
So, MackenzieMom reminded me that I should make the time to do some blogging from time to time.
Now, what's going on? Quite a lot, actually. I just got back from a local bar association meeting, which was interesting. I'm starting to get to the point that I actually recognize people. It helps that I joined, and a couple weeks ago attended my first meeting of, the American Inns of Court. That went way beyond interesting and fun, it was awesome. Unlike many legal-educated people (and, sad to say, lawyers), I love the law, and the Inns of Court was a great interactive way to socialize and talk about legal issues for fun.
Next month, the presentation will be based on a local attorney who formerly represented one (or maybe more? I'm not sure) of the Guantanamo detainees. I've heard him speak before, and he definitely knows his stuff. I think the focus, from what my sources tell me, will be the ethics of representing someone who doesn't want to be represented.
Overall, life is good right now.
