The results came out earlier than I thought they would. While I still have to be formally sworn in, I’m now for all practical purposes licensed in two states, New York and Texas.
Dewey, the next time that the New York Dopers are planning to officially get together is on Tuesday, May 20, when Gazelle (formerly from Hell) is coming to town. If you join us, I’d be happy to buy you a drink.
Y’know, back when I was a law student summer clerking at the NYC firm which until recently was my employer, we had to share office space with other summer associates. The gal I was paired with was from Long Island, born and bred, and hadn’t really lived anywhere outside of the NYC area. She had read on the summer associate bio sheet that I was from Texas. She was really disappointed when I walked into the office – she really expected the whole boots and hat and belt buckle combo.
I tried to use “y’all” around her whenever I could, just so I wouldn’t be a total letdown.
