Cousin James over at Parkway Rest Stop sometimes notes that he's too wrapped up in "Life 101" to have time to say anything profound on his blog. I know the feeling this week, when my several hats are all on at once.

It's a big primary day, and Measure 30 day here in the Beaver State, and I've got about four other Portland-centric blog entries in me waiting to come out. But I've got a couple of hungry college funds to feed, and so it's going to be another day or two before I get down with the muse and lay it all out here.

Tonight, amidst a couple of other balls I have up in the air, I give the bar exam review lecture on taxation here in town. Four straight lecturing hours down at the always-funky Portland Conference Center (not to be confused with the Oregon Convention Center, which sits across the street like the Pacific Northwest's biggest white elephant). At least I get a turkey burger at the nearby Burgerville outlet out of the deal.
