Random Snippets
With my summer co-op at GBLS wrapping up next week, I thought I'd offer a few random snippets of where I've been, what I've been up to, and what I've been thinking about for the last couple of weeks:
Went to Berkshires in Western Massachusetts this weekend with my wife and a friend. We camped for a night, checked out some of the cute small historic towns, and then spent Sunday at Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. For those of you that have never been out there, it's really beautiful, and quite a spectacular experience to hear world class classical music out in the open (even if it was raining).

My fall schedule is starting to take shape. I'm probably going to be taking Evidence, Professional Responsibility (the only required class after 1L), Advanced LSSC, and doing an independent study where I will be looking at state tax law and policies. Advanced LSSC basically means that I will be teaching a 1L section of Legal Skills in Social Context, which I spoke about a few times during my 1L year. So, that means that I may be teaching some of you that are reading this blog.

On the co-op front, I was fortunate to secure a co-op for the winter quarter, once I'm done with classes in the fall. I'll be a Judicial Intern for the Honorable Norman H. Stahl, a Senior Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit here in Boston. As it turns out, the other Judicial Intern will be one of my nearest and dearest friends from law school, which is also pretty exciting. The experience promises to be an intense and challenging one, as I'm going to write approximately 20 memos over 10 or 11 weeks.

Movie night again tomorrow night -- very exciting. I voted for How to Get Ahead in Advertising, which I've never seen, and frankly, know little to nothing about.

On another note, Red Sox fans around here are reeling from the revelation that our favorite Red Sox hero, David Ortiz, tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 2003. The test results were never supposed to be released, and were merely meant to measure how bad the problem was before the union and Major League Baseball decided what to do about it. Still, it's reconfirmed for many of us that the current generation of baseball players will forever be tainted by this scandal, whether they tested positive or not.
