It was great Jacque, we've already re-booked for next year.

How could you not have fun with sights like this all week?

I hope that last pic wasn't too much skin. I am on the habitual offenders list and wouldn't want to overstep my bounds again.

Yeah. You are. This whole process is different though. Pretty sure it will work though considering our entire relationship has involved filling out forms and paying fees where everyone else can do the same thing for free. :ranting:

Soooooo... the exam went fine, but the committee of bar examiners messed up and put an essay on the exam that was on a topic that was not, and never is, examined. Nobody knows what this means because it's never happened before! Everyone guesses that the essay will be thrown out, since no one was prepared to write on that topic, and the other three essays scaled accordingly.

One guy was so unnerved by finding the essay in the booklet that he ran out of the room and never came back!

Happy Friday Losers!

What's up for the 4th of July weekend?

Wifey, the dogs and I are headed up to Maine for a well deserved 9 day vacation. Can't wait to kick back, do some fishin, hiking and enjoy a few cold ones round the campfire.

Hope everyone has a fun filled 4th!
