As someone who has been frequenting the internet since 1992 in one fashion or another, I'm surprised that I have yet to fully embrace the self-publishing world of blogging. Perhaps its because I never had a topic other than myself to write about, and since I never really was one to keep a journal or a diary, blogging never really was something for me to be passionate about.
I didn't even plan to go to law school. I graduated from Bates College in 1994 with ideas of teaching, building and refurbishing wooden boats, getting my Masters in English, working for a publishing house, or any number of things that a 24 year old with lots of ambition and no direction might do. I spent many years in NYC working for a college textbook publisher and The Jim Henson Company and found myself immersed in the world of contracts, trademark and business organizations. I stumbled into the legal world without knowing I was even there.
And yet, here I am, six years removed from moving out of my nostril-sized Brooklyn apartment to my new law school in Massachusetts, an attorney back in my hometown of Mystic, Connecticut. A little bit older, maybe a little wiser, a husband, a father.
And now I feel I have something to write about.
