Back yard

I love wendy's back porch. It's gorgeous here today and I wish I was out hiking instead of heading to the office.

That's wendy with our friend johnny when we were up to the Morris Run Legion last weekend.

More philadelphia


Tuesday night's restaurant: El Vez. Yummy, but loud. The table we were seated at sucked - squeezed between a photobooth and the stairs down to the restrooms, so we asked to move. The place was loud. Service was very good. It felt like what Cantina Loco wants to be. Great decor:

After a Cezar Chavez guac appetizer, A got shrimp tacos which he said were really good:

image

And I got black bean enchiladas. I also got a Stegmaier IPA which had the malty-coffee edge of a black IPA.

After the exam on Wednesday, I wanted to celebrate a least a little. I asked Meredith for some mapping/exploring help and she suggested the Manayunk Brewery & Restaurant. Manayunk is a funky cool neighborhood that I had visited back in probably 1994 with my ex's mom & stepdad. It's gotten a bit gentrified since then - it has a Pottery Barn.

We shared the sampler of eight beers. I was surprised I liked their Black Eye PA - much less of the malty-toasted flavor than other black IPAs. The Dreamin' IPA was my favorite, of course, a crisp double IPA 8.5%, 85 IBUs.

image

(remember, you can click to enlarge and read the text) A liked the Schuylkill Punch, a raspberry lager.

A's amazingly sculptural sashimi plate (very unusual for a brewpub to have a full sushi bar, but there it was!)
image

Wheat & malt
image

Dessert - Jewish apple cake and ice cream.
image

Then we had the four-hour drive home.

Thank goodness it's over. I'll know mid-April if I passed. I'm taking today off (except accepting phone calls from (e:Terry)), lazing around, enjoying some quiet.

Philadelphia

My beloved mountains! I wish I had my real camerawith me to show the amazing moon & planet conjunction. So many stars!

Traveled to philly tonight, currently at Triumph Brewing Company on Chestnut enjoying a Bengal Gold IPA and listening to a jazz band. A got a Love Potion, too sweet for me. We ordered an insane amount food because A was worried the portions would be tiny. Ooops.

at the office

I got to the office today and stressed to jill and kelly who completely took over and organized my day. Thank you! So now I'm studying, cuddling with nisha, and listening to shane, jill, kelly and the roosters.

Kelly got her nails done with super cute pandas.

Snuggling with nisha

I got no studying done today between preparing to leave buffalo for a week, driving, and catching up with A's family (taxes, computers that need attention, dinner, planning a family reunion, congratulations). But I am getting high quality puppy snuggles; A's coonhound is behind me and Nisha is being my teddy bear. It was hard to leave today because I'm so worried that I've forgotten something essential to taking the exam. I'm more nervous about the trip than the exam on some levels... My truck is generally unhappy, hotels make me anxious, I don't sleep well any where but my own bed, I don't know philly well, just too many things to manage.

Okay, gonna do practice questions. And hopefully sleep.

Admitted

I traveled to Rochester for the admission ceremony today...

(e:kookcity2000) took me out to lunch at John's TexMex in the South Wedge and then he gave me a little tour. Thank you so much!! Gorgeous view from next to the big reservoir:

image

There was an overwhelming number of people in the room for the admission ceremony.
image

And there were all these people talking! The ceremony took about 45 minutes.
image

But now I'm a lawyer... officially an "Attorney and Counselor at Law" as you can see:

Back to studying.

1.5 estoppels

Partnership by estoppel - see corporation by estoppel.
Collateral estoppel. It's so boring i'm not bothering. You can google it.

So folks, I've got seven days left. I'm in a way better position than I was for the NYS bar exam but somehow I'm in a worse mental place, or at least it feels like it at the moment. The scoring is mysterious and the essays have more weight than they did in NYS... stress stress.

I'm asking you all to please write more posts and comments because they help me understand that this exam is not the only thing that exists in the world.

(e:springfaerie), I really hope Rhys is okay.

Tomorrow night, Mardi Gras.

Estoppels

Two more estoppels:

Paternity by estoppel Once you say you're the dad of the kid, you can't disclaim the kid even if blood tests say it isn't yours. But if biological dad steps in and says that he'll take responsibility for the kid, you're off the hook.

Corporation by estoppel if you're dealing with an entity that you believe is a corporation (which would have limited liability) and you find out that it was defectively formed or isn't a corporation at all, you can't assert that the owner is then personally liable. This is only true if the owner didn't know that the corporate formation was defective and was in good faith holding it out to be real.
