A Celebration

Tonight we celebrated a Very Important Milestone: the successful passage of the California Bar Exam. Yep, my beloved wife, who has labored and struggled for weeks and months towards the goal of conquering one of the toughest, if not the toughest, bar exams in the nation received word the other day that she's now officially eligible to be the butt of lawyer jokes (Quick! Heard any good ones lately??).

As an extremely proud spouse, I escorted her to a celebratory dinner at Trader Vic's, advertised as the "home of the Mai Tai." Yes, we had the obligatory mai tais, along with appetizers, dinner, and dessert. I chose the restaurant because it is just down the street from our humble abode, and we have passed by it countless times. Well, now the mystery of what's behind those Polynesian-themed walls is over.

While I'm still figuring out what I want to be When I Grow Up (yeah, I'm a writer, but I need a day job til I become the next Dan Brown), at least one person in our household is an adult, and about to re-join the working world. Congratulations, dear, on a job well done.
