the imbroglio

Sadness: My good friend Monica has retired from blogging. She has long warned me that this was coming, but that didn’t mean I was any happier when it actually happened. Adding to the sadness is that it has taken me so long to even mention it. Explaining her decision, Monica writes:

I’ve started a job that I can’t blog about, and as my career progresses, I don’t want to blog about that either. My life is changing, and I no longer want it to be so public.

Good points, all. With each week that passes where I can’t manage to update the imbroglio even once, I wonder if perhaps there’s a lesson there. Is my time for blogging over? And yet, there are so many great blogs by practicing lawyers that I admire and love to read. It seems possible, and a worthy goal to strive for, that I will eventually figure out a way to make that transition from law student blogger to lawyer blogger. The transition is taking longer than I thought, but… [tags]friends[/tags]

Best of luck to Monica. I always loved checking in on Buzzwords and I’m so glad were able to get to know each other through this medium and then to actually meet. As she says, we became good friends, and she is likewise one of only a handful of people with whom I’ve kept in touch since law school. It doesn’t matter that we went to different schools; we followed similar paths and her insights and inspiration along the way definitely helped me get to where I am today. I look forward to keeping our friendship going, and if this blog does continue, I definitely hope to post something from Alaska someday. Perhaps I’ll even be able to get Monica to guest post!
