Life since, um, last year...

I wonder if blogging is really the right thing to call this anymore. I mean, I think in many ways, I’ve moved on to Facebook instead. But I must admit that I miss the more contemplative, narrative nature of blogging. Sure, I could write “notes” in/on Facebook, and maybe I should. Meh. Anyway, here’s the update in brief of what’s happened since the last time I tried hard enough to remember my password for this blog...

Right, so, I passed the Kansas Bar Exam which I took in July, and I was sworn-in in September. Since then I’ve been working in the juvenile offender and “child-in-need-of-care” cases in our office. Although I’ve done a few bench trials now, I haven’t had a jury trial actually go yet. However, I have one this month that I’m reasonably sure will NOT plead out.

In November, wife and I flew to Alabama for the Alabama v. Auburn football game, a.k.a. the Iron Bowl. We had a tremendous time. My dad got to come with us, we got to spend some time with some good friends from law school, and Alabama put a solid pounding on the Tigers. I’m pretty sure that will be a life-long highlight memory.

Christmas was pretty tame here at the house. Wife was on call, and we just tried to lay low. My dad, stepmom, and youngest sister came up to see us last weekend. And now it’s back to what has become life as usual, if there ever actually will be such a thing for me and the wife. I start teaching a New Testament Literature class at the local community college here in a couple of weeks, so I’m really looking forward to that.

OK, that’s the news for now. Catch up with me on the Facebook. What do you MEAN you don’t have a profile yet??!?!
