« Previous EntriesThoughts on the 2008 Beijing Olympics
Friday, June 20th, 2008I have been torn about the Olympics controvery for some time and haven’t said much here because of my contradicting concerns.
Generally, I believe that the concept of the Olympics has merit. The original Olympics was an actual time of truce in which all of the wars stopped for the games. Today, the wars continue on […]

Pretty busy these days
Thursday, September 13th, 2007I keep meaning to blog more but just haven’t had the time. Work has been way crazy busy lately, with lots of calls coming in from soldiers needing help. I’ve also been on the road a lot, mostly to Ft. Sill but also to other places (county jails and other military bases).

Life as a fairly new lawyer
Thursday, May 17th, 2007I haven’t been able to keep up with the blog much lately but did want to post a quick note to let friends know I’m still alive. Work has been ferociously busy but good.

I’m also running some ads with Google adwords, so we’ll see how that works out.
My new presence in Lawton
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007
I’m making another big step in my law practice (which is exciting, but also kinda scary), as I’m starting to establish a virtual presence in Lawton/Fort Sill (and hopefully eventually a physical presence there as well, if I can find some shared office space).
The main things I’m doing are getting a yellow page ad in […]

This is an update to an earlier JMBzine post
I got my score yesterday on the MPRE and I thankfully passed (Oklahoma’s passing score is a 75), so I should be a lawyer very soon.
Actually sooner than I expected because I thought I wouldn’t get my bar license until Sept. 26th (when they have the swearing […]
