This morning I have to give a shout out to one of my oldest and dearest friends. Monica just found out that she passed the California bar exam. No small task, considering it’s got about a 50% passing rate for first time takers. Congratulations! But I have to mention that I’m totally jealous. Not of the bar exam business (I’m very happy for her), but because she’s celebrating by spending the weekend in New Orleans…and may even get to see Duran Duran play the TwiRoPa tonight. That would be sooooooo dreamy. Sigh.
