I can't remember when I wrote last or what we were talking about, except that you wouldn't be having to go into the city to work, and that it was cherry blossom time again.  I had a final Monday night. 
I left work early about 2:30 and went to the law library to study. 
 
It is a very nice place to study, as it and the whole building are new.  I started to e-mail you from there, but I didn't want to get distracted.  I only "goofed up" on my exam in one significant place. 
The scenario was a woman who fled with her children to get away from an alcoholic husband whose judge-friend had decided to give HIM custody of the children.  I forgot to put in that if Alabama tried to help her get custody, here in Alabama, and that if she "lost" she would have to pay ALL the expenses for lawyers on both sides, all witnesses, transportation costs, lodging, etc.  It's a heavy duty penalty to help deter people from snatching kids and running to another state.  That was a costly mistake as the question was 15 points.  I certainly hope I "kept an A" though.  I know I made a few other slight errors, but hopefully they won't add up too much.  Its hard to tell.  Yesterday I went out to the Air Base because the military appeals court from Washington in a "project outreach" was actually doing a trial here in Montgomery.  They all traveled here to hold the court.  I really enjoyed hearing the attorneys argue. 

Otherwise, I'm trying to keep track of Kosovo.  A lot of people in Alabama are "reserve."  Its a big thing to do.  For years its been get together with the boys for a weekend away from home.  Since Desert Storm though its got more serious and a lot of people from Alabama got called.  I heard today some may go down to Cuba to the refugee camps.  Well, hope you're doing okay.  Elizabeth
