1. bar exams: passed. hip hip hooray & all that, but more relieved than anything else. (the big boss says that her boss, when she was called (this was thirty years ago) gave her “two tables at the hilton” and she could invite anyone she wanted. fat chance of our bosses giving us even two tables at the hawker centre, but no matter!)vaughn: so are you a lawyer now? pots of gold glimmering in the distance. me: no, the equivalent of an a.b.d.
2. the montague book mill is in the boston globe! that will be one stop on our summer road trip, along with emily d’s homestead.
3. when the prospects of four (and possible +four) years of a trump administration become more real perhaps more of my american friends will come to visit. the u.s. of a, one has always known, is not a very well-functioning country at all, but this is beyond belief. sic semper?
