Patent Bar Update

So I thought I'd give you all an update...I've gone from consistently getting really bad scores on the practice patent bar exams, to getting barely failing scores. I have 3 weeks to go.

So, while my irrational fears have calmed in large-part, I am still taking suggestions on a "plan B" to keep Heidi around (preferably involving minimal violence).

Cheer up Charlie! You'll be fine. I hope this isn't a man only blog, I'm not sure if I'm ok to be commenting. I'm sure Fulbright isn't going to fire you even if you fail. You can always take it again, plus you went to FP so that's like one of the best ranked schools in the nation....yeah right! I still hate that school.

Yes you can comment (see my first post). What would a man cave be without women? (so long as they behave...and of course they would have to be reasonably good looking...or direct family members, or close friends of Heidi's, each of whom I would not admit to having made a judgment on looks in either direction)

My tone probably isn't coming off well in the post...I am 99% not worried about this. Kinda like passing the state bar. I knew it was a done deal, I just wanted to see it done before I celebrate.

If I were worried about this, these last couple posts would be tantamount to whining, which is strictly prohibited in the Man Cave...Punishable by endless taunting and multiple humiliating pranks.

Hmm. Does Heidi like pizza? Maybe a delivery man would work for her. j/k It's good to worry a little right? It keeps you humble.(of course, so does failing) OOOHHH Sorry. Love ya!

Plan B - I was watching TV late the other night and I saw a commercial for this "suplement" that could "enhance that special member of a man's body." Maybe that could work?!?

No, what you really need is an online degree as a Private Investigator. It would be so cool! You could grow a sweet moustache, wear Daisy Dukes, have an English butler, and your best friend would be some black dude that flies a helicopter. All chicks dig that stuff...plus you could do all-night stakeouts in your 1980's Ferrari and order in Chinese.

Sounds like a good life to me.

So far you do update more than Heidi, way to go! I have to gloat a little about Phillies going all the way in the World Series. So sad for your Red Sox, I'm wiping away a tear right now! Anyhoo, if you fail your exam you're welcome to come be our manny 'cause I'm about to KILL my kids!

May I sound off in the Man Cave? Am I the only one not welled up with pride and emotion over the Pres.-elect Obama? I find it funny in our hyper-sensitive PC world that he is off-limits to any comedian(not that they would crack on him)but who would DARE make a joke about a black man. If I were Obama I would be offended that I had to be treated with kid-gloves. I am in no way a racist, you can call a socialist a socialist!Black, white green, red ect. (thanks 4 music, it's helping my out-rage!)I too can say "Good Luck" or congrats. Maybe I don't understand racism,but mormons were dirven from state to state, they had an extinction order, it doesn't mean I am entitiled to sue someone's relative on behalf of my realitive. Oh yeah! If black people think they aren't well represented in the Republican party why not mandate some affirmitive action? Think about it.(funny)Also, I couldn't stomach Jesse Jackson crying in the crowd. You know he was thinking "I should have cut off his $#@% when I had the chance." Any minority who wishes to remain oppressed is not happy for Obama. He just proved the the majority of the country isn't racist. The most racism comes from the African-American Leaders. (i.e.Jesse Jackson ect.) My hope for this election is conservatives will reignite their passions and not throw a moderate candidate for pres again. Thanks, I can't say that in Utah, my friends are all too proud of this historical event. Not that I don't appreciate the situation, I'm just callin it like I see it in the Man Cave.

venting is cool, but I didn't see a "plan B" in there. Maybe my plan B will be to do what BO did. I can read a teleprompter, I can hope for change...I should start writing my memoirs.
