So today's my last (full) day in California. Summer Associateship ended Friday. Some things are shipped, some things are packed. Rental bike is returned. Still to do: laundry, pack, clean.
And now I sit on a bench on Stanford campus, tapping out a blog post because it's too damned pretty to go inside.
It was a great summer. Interesting work, lovely weather, those were almost givens. But the people really made the experience for me. So, a few highlights, in no particular order:
- Go-karting at 30 mph wearing truly ridiculous firesuits.
- Discovering a lighthouse.
- Pandora wars.
- Kiteboarder beach.
- Writing what was effectively a law review article in three days.
- Biking through wine country.
- Blackberry Mojitos.
- EFF Cyberlaw Trivia Night, and coming in FIRST (among teams without a law professor on them).
- Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Movie Night.
- Scaling a lamp post in downtown Palo Alto.
- The Dark Knight.
- Castle Rock.
- Visiting a Tesla Dealership.
- And too much else to count.
Goodbye, California. You were good to me. I'll see you soon.
