Today my sister and her husband came over from Fremont and we had an awesome afternoon. We first took in some sun by walking the Dish loop. The temperature was perfect and the breeze was nice for most of the way (it was a bit blustery on top of the ridge). After the good walk,…

Update
The past few days have been good. I had some really fun interviews yesterday and I look forward to resuming the interviewing next week. Yesterday I went to Arrillaga and had a good weightlifting session. I benched and built up to 10 reps of 145. I also did a few other chest exercises and some…
Worst Wildfire Season in Decades
More indications of global warming… this year is shaping up to be the worst wildfire season in the United States in over 45 years! Check out this article about how more large wildfires are linked to climate change. The warming climate is causing forests to change generating abundant fuel for fires. Some of this fuel…
Global Warming
North White Chuck basin with only an ice remnant remaining. Human-induced global warming is real and the problem is likely worse than you think. I took this photo of north Whitechuck basin on my climb of Glacier Peak in August. Twenty years ago, the entire basin was filled with ice. Now, there is merely a…
On-Mean Grading and Dinner
I had my first interviews today and they went well. I’ve got a couple more tomorrow. Otherwise, I hit Arrillaga gym for mainly shoulder weights. This evening I went on a 46 minute run including the Dish hill loop. I felt good and went 22 minutes for the Dish gate to gate. It’s been awhile…
OCI

I have my first interview tomorrow morning at 9 am followed by another at 9:40 and yet another at 1:40 pm. I have 15 total interviews over the course…
Settling In
My schedule is now basically solidified. The only difference to the courses listed earlier is that I have switched Copyright with Lawyering for Social Change. I went to the first Lawyering for Social Change class and I really enjoyed. Fortunately, I was able to enroll in the capped class. I am also interested in Copyright,…
The Dish
Today was my first run of the dish since returning to Stanford. I walked the hill loop on Monday. The Dish is a natural area (except for the satellite dish) on Stanford University lands. The hills rise a few hundred feet and there is a nice loop that is listed as 3.5 miles, but it’s…
First day of classes
First day of 2L (second year law student) has come and gone. It was good. I enjoy my classes, but I fear I have loaded myself up on one too many finals. I am currently slated for five finals – all in a row – YIKES!! Well, I am going to do my best to…
More Tamar photos!
What a gorgeous day here in California! Not a cloud in the sky, pleasant temperatures in the low 70’s, and a nice breeze. I have made a nice return to the Arrillaga gym as I have worked out there three days in a row now. Yesterday I exercised my back muscles. Today I worked on…
