Happy Pesach!
Hi all — I’m off to London tonight but just wanted to wish everyone a happy passover. I am being the worst Jew ever this year — not even trying to keep kosher for Passover. I did get to taste some delicious Matzoh Brei (more details on Gothamist later) and am planning to cook a

And We’re Off . . .
to D.C. for the annual pro bono extravaganza and some socializing — mostly work related, but I’m sure I’ll manage to squeak in some non-work fun as well between the conference, the business dinners, and the Justice Ginsburg reception. On a side note, after seeing Jim White tonight courtesy of Ryan (thanks, Ryan!), I met

To Market, To Market
I came across this article yesterday about markets as travel destinations, which mentioned several markets I have visited during the course of my travels, including Barcelona’s Boqueria (from which I have a picture above my stove) and London’s Borough Market.

And Much Lobster Was Had By All
Over the course of four days, we ate lobster rolls once, fried clams twice, and whole lobsters twice. We also made some kick-ass grilled salmon with corn salsa and shrimp tacos with grilled onions, guacamole, and chipotle crema. To balance it out, I swam across the lake and back once (1/2 mile), went on two

Planes, Trains, Automobiles, and Lobsters
And don’t forget monorails, buses, and every broken escalator in the greater NY area. Finally made it back from Maine. Recap and photos shortly. Thanks to Jenn R., Jimmy, and The Lovely Miss Katie for good times, belly laughs, and all around excellent company, and thanks to the Maine branch of the family for letting
