Good news

Most of you are aware that I didn't upload my bar exam answers for the third day on time. I had to write a letter of petition to the Bar, asking them to accept my answers even though they were uploaded past the deadline. Without those third day answers, there was no way I was going to pass the bar, and I didn't have high hopes of them accepting my petition.
I got a letter from them today, announcing that they had accepted my petition and would accept my third-day answers. Which means my odds of passing are as good as anyone else's. Just in time for the Jewish New Year. Now it really is a "hag sameach" - a joyous holiday.

This past weekend I also had a great time at the Civil War reenactment. The highlights:

(a) I got to fire the cannon. It's really, really cool.
(b) A bunch of the guys pitched in and bought me a Boswell pipe. It's a work of art.

Pictures soon, I promise.
