Wow, what a week. This week a number of us 10 years out reflected on a variety of positive and negative role models in the legal profession: one broke into the next level, one is at the pinacle of the profession, and one reflecting on the next generation. On the other, one hid all, one revealed all, and one fell to their demise. I don’t know sometimes — it is just too much.

In about 2 hours, I’ll be in a car on the way to Atlantic City for a one day conference, staying overnight in the Sheraton. Should be fun. It’s also going to be the first trip that I don’t take the laptop – that’s a little scary.

Week’s recap: lots of eating out this past week. Trying out Google’s new My Maps feature: I’ve made a map of the places I’ve been this past week and a half. I’ll make another map with the places I’m just booked trips to. Next Saturday is a conference in Atlantic City, which I’ve actually never been to before. In June, I’m taking P and my mom to my cousin’s wedding in Toronto.

Had to do a mass mailing this past week (not email – the old-fashioned U.S. mail kind.) It’s really a lot of work doing it by hand. P helped out a lot.
Speaking of mailing, USPS is coming out with new Star Wars stamps!!! Very nice. They are going to be sold at 41 cents, which will be the new first class rate come May 1.

This video could be fun for certain members of this board…

Brooklyn Restaurant Week winds down, and we tried to make the most of it. Tuesday, Dakar on Atlantic. Good Indian food, although the kitchen was freaking out because they had a surprise health department inspection during the dinner hour. They passed, but everything that came out of the kitchen was either super hot or super cold.

Wednesday I had a dinner meeting at Evergreen, followed by karaoke at Japas 38 across the street (see video). Enough said.

Thursday, Queen Italian restaurant. P had linguine with octopus and olive ragu, I had the gnocchi with veal and mushroom sauce. Yum yum yum.

Friday, we had 2 for 1 at the Atlantic Chip Shop. Fried Macaroni, Cod and Chips, and Fried Twinkies. Super fried!!!

More eating this weekend…..
