Summer recess

Despite the court currently being in summer recess for three weeks, and despite every attorney on my team except for one senior trial attorney being out of the office, I have loads of work on my desk. I made sure to ask for projects before everyone headed out to Crete and Tuscany and Ireland, but I think I may have overextended myself. 

That being said, I will be taking Thursday and Friday off of work to attend my lovely friend Nicole's wedding in Detmold, Germany. I haven't seen her or her brother, my good friend Christian, in four years, so I am sure we will have long nights of catching up ahead of us.
