Thinking About Law School? I'd Think Long and Hard About It.

http://cominganarchy.com/2010/01/08/the-legal-profession-must-be-sa...

I have two friends who are currently in law school and after reading this, I wonder if either of them will end up on my couch at some point in the future. I'm not going to lie, I'd rather see Heidi when I wake in the morning as opposed to Josh and his missus. I'd probably be the one on the damn couch if they moved in.

Regardless of my desire, or lack of, for housemates, reading an article like this, scares the crap out of me. It also makes me glad that I decided to put off law school twice now.

Josh is in a good school. He's published. He's on law review. He's got a good shot at making it into a good firm. I can't say the same thing for Heidi. I am certainly hoping for the best for both of my friends.

On a side note, I came across an article a few days ago that offered advice to Realtor's that if they could get out of the business and do something else for 3-5 years, then do it. It almost seems like that's the best advice for anyone who really wants to go to law school.

Stein's Blog - It's Happening to Me.

I  have thought for a while as to how I was going to share this information, and there is no good way. I have always worked hard to be a good man, a fair man, an honest man. I have   given my all to being a good husband . I have partnered with my wife on many levels, shared with her, made decisions with her, suffered with her, raised our children with her and listened to her. Apparently this has not been enough for her. She has filed for divorce. She says she is miserable , and though I have…See More

"Ha! No, it's not just me. A quick google search shows that socialists all over the place love the RSA animate. Not to say that the RSA are socialists but the socialists certainly find their ideas agreeable.  "

Proud of you dog? Share your story!

Have you ever had a complete YES moment with your dog? Please share the story.Today while on a run Poppy (my german shepherd) was complemented as being very well behaved, by two separate passersby. And to top that this very night while entertaining some friends I accidentally left the front door open, and for the twenty minutes that it took for me to realize and to correct the mistake she had just sat and watched the door. (On guard I suspect) And this was awesome because earlier in her life…See More
