Ok

I suppose it's time for something new here. One can only read law-related things for so long before one needs a break, and your narrator has reached the point where such a break is necessary.

So.

Summer and I are married now, and in fact have been for one month and five and a half days or so. I don't know how all those of you who attended felt about the day, but it currently stands as easily the best of my life, from hanging out with the Allen guys to frantically scrambling around Portland, picking up important people, to seeing so many important people gathered in one place (and seeing Summer in her finery!), to the ceremony itself, to dinner, dancing, and karaoke, to the close of the night at the Grand Lodge. The pictures trickling in from various sources keep the residual good feelings flowing.

We went to Gold Beach, Oregon, not far from the border with California, for a few days of relaxation. Though the wind restricted beach access, we did wander along the Rogue River, hike around Cape Sebastian, and eat some truly delectable meals (including, I believe, Dungeness crab every day).

Then it was back to the real world; we arrived in Philly on a Sunday morning, drove through gray and dripping weather to Rhode Island that afternoon, and were working the next morning.

Since then, I finished at RILS, had the chance to try to make sure my life was sufficiently held together, and headed back to school. So here I am. Classes have started off well, with Civil Rights a particular favorite (shockingly), and my brief time in the Judge's chambers has already been rewarding as well.

There's so much going on that I'm not even successfully juggling it all in my brain, but I have students I'm tutoring right now, and clerkship applications I've sent out. Summer and I are getting the apartment set to be a marital abode rather than a student apartment. And we want to see lots of you, if anyone still reads this, more substantially than we might have at the wedding. That's all for now.
