I have been missing you more than usual this week.

I think it's because I was planning on taking the bar exam, and that was evocative of all the time we spent preparing for the last one.
Do you remember the coffee pot? We were so pleased when you ordered it and brought it to the SJAG office. It was huge, but no matter how high the quality of coffee beans we got it always tasted like crap.
Cheever called it "non-profit organization coffee" and said that it was the perfect source of fuel for bar exam prep. I wonder what happened to it, I hope it was used as you wanted it to be used.
I remember coming back to your house to watch Law and Order while listening to Ben play WOW in his room. You and I always started out diligently discussing the legal issues brought out by the show, but we were so tired and worn out that we would end up just watching the show, side by side on the couch, occasionally grunting at each other.
I went to the release party for Harry Potter and they were handing out these little tassles in Griffyndor colors. I picked one up. Did you ever realize that D.U.'s colors are the same as Griffyndor's? I think that is pretty cool, being the big Harry Pottter geek that I am. Anyway, it made me think about graduation and waiting forever in the gym, sweltering in our ostentatious robes.
I wish you were here. There is so much I want to talk to you about, and so many stories I want to share with you. I am working my first big case, all by myself, and you would be so great at helping me work it all out in my head. I wish you could meet Oliver. He is such a funny baby. He picked up his first thing yesterday, a bright red cloth block with fat strawberries all over it. He gets so intent on the things he tries to pick up that he goes all cross-eyed. It's very funny.
Marlena is so big now, she is Oliver's favorite person, he just shines whenever she is around. He thinks she is so neat. She sings to him, and reads to him, and sits with him. They have such a neat little relationship, it was everything you assured me it would be. You were right, there was no reason for me to worry.

I love you hon, I wish you were here to see all this in person.
