During the long holiday weekend, Wife and I spent some time advising Mayor Bloomberg regarding a few of the issues plaguing the City. Wife discussed some precarious financial situations while I addressed the pressing legal issues of the city. Ok, it didn't quite go down like that. But Wife and I did get to shake Mayor Bloomberg's hand as he warmly greeted us (with the warmth that only a seasoned politician can provide).
On an unrelated note: Do not send Christmas cards to any address except our NEW address (August '08). Anything sent to any other address will NOT be forwarded. If you need our new email address, shoot us an email and we will be happy to send it to you.
Friday was an exciting day for our household.Mid-afternoon on Friday, we learned that Husband passed the New York Bar Exam.I am so proud of Husband for this accomplishment.This is the second Bar Exam that he has passed (and, hopefully, the last exam he will ever have to take).
Earlier in the week Husband learned that the results would be posted at 9:00 AM on Friday morning.Husband and I are usually the first ones in our respective offices every day, but Friday we both decided to go in late and wait for the results to be posted.The anticipation was mounting as we waited for the results.There was one major problem.Apparently the New York Bar Examiners didn’t anticipate that over 15,000 eager soon-to-be lawyers would be all logging on to check their results at the same time.As soon as the results were posted, the website went into overload and began to crash.Needless to say we kept trying to check the results, but we couldn’t gain access to the website.After about 15 minutes of trying, we decided we better get to work.
At work we both continued to try to gain access in between meetings and actually get our work done.Mid-afternoon I was finally successful in gaining access to the website to Husband’s results.I quickly called him and read to him that The New York Bar Examiners would like to congratulate him on passing the New York Bar Exam.I was thrilled and couldn’t help telling everyone I knew of this great accomplishment!He has worked so hard over these last several years and I am so proud of him.
