Have been out of town the past week and the dread of returning home to work and to DC is far worse than it's been before. Sweden is lovely in summertime though.

Not that they will care, because I never made enough money for Columbia to care about me since I graduated but, this is the email I sent in response to the jabberwocky sent by Claire Shipman:

In Mallorca and attempting not to work for a few days 🤞

In an otherwise short opinion granting a TRO, Judge Lamberth extensively justifies why judges are not violating the will of the people by requiring the Administration to follow the law storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yes please, tell me what's going on with the.... sports

Been in Laos the past week, which is a beautiful country, where I've worked too much and had a lot of time to think about how the US's abandonment of the world will play out. (Hint: China) But Luang Prabang is magical and I highly recommend it!

Yesterday morning I did court filings from a coffee shop in Luang Prabang. This morning I did a bamboo weaving class on the Mekong. Today was better.

Just visited a center for rehabilitation for those here in Laos who lose limbs due to unexploded ordinance, which is likely to shut down due to the shuttering of USAID
