Sic Semper Tyrannis

Many, many thanks to all of you who sent up prayers as I was preparing for the Missouri Bar Exam last February. We got word this week that I did, in fact, pass the test. On April 29, I’ll officially be licensed to practice in the state — meaning that Missouri’s freedom-stifling bureaucrats should consider themselves forewarned.

In other news, who remembers the eBay user that pissed me off so heinously by calling me a liar when I had fairly and honestly described my purchasing experience with him? I heard from that guy today, offering to withdraw his negative feedback rating. When I asked him what prompted his decision to withdraw the feedback, he offered this apology:

“You were correct. You provided truthful feedback. I felt bad about the situation, which is why I sent you the feedback rating removal. I definitely apologize for what happened.”

And so, gentle readers, you can all consider his apology accepted.

The third big item of the day is the fact that I missed out on the biggest earthquake to rock the Midwest since 1968! Don’t get me wrong… I have no desire to be in St. Louis when the New Madrid fault trips off the long-expected Big One. But I kind of hate not to have been around for this one because now everyone else will have such fun stories to tell about it and I won’t.
