It's also important to note that this Judge retired to senior status in 2013 so his replacement was appointed by Obama more than 10 years ago. His resignation is not creating an opening on the court.

I tend to push myself too hard so I can make the most of my time, especially when I go to places that aren't Taipei. I went to Kaohsiung/高雄 for a day and a half this week and did way too much so I've been reading the last day and a half since I got back.

Honestly the worst thing for me about going on my short trips around Taiwan is how much it takes out of me. I'll walk 40-50k steps in 2-3 days and then need to take an entire day to recover from it. It's annoying.

Yup. I'm trying to be really intentional while I'm in Taiwan and getting out of my city to explore the rest of the island. I'll be here for a couple years and will likely never have the freedom to explore this country after this period ever again.

It's funny how we never do the things in our backyard. I still regret not visiting the Kluge-Ruhe while I was living in Charlottesville.

Being a full-time federal judge. One could compare senior status to emeritus status for a professor. In this case, the Judge was already hearing an extremely limited caseload and was hanging out to help out when necessary.

He retired to senior status and had his replacement appointed in 2013. This does not create an opening on the court.
