It’s nice that Washington only requires its lawyers to report continuing education every three years. Not as nice when you realize it’s Dec. 17 and you still have all 45 hours to complete by 12/31.  Oops.

On the plus side, I just watched a CLE on being a pot lawyer, for which I received ethics credit.  ⚖️

I do the same with my CE. I usually wait until my company is threatening to terminate me before I get it done, although my motivation for doing it this way is so my regional manager has to spend his time pestering me instead of playing golf

You're driving there tomorrow? God be with you, child.

I'm heading to Maryland Saturday from western VA, so I'll blow the horn through Fairfax Co to say "hi".

Of course, you may still be on the road at that point 😉

I met a woman on a date last night that dropped out of grad school (cognitive science) to become a full time photographer.  Can you really support yourself in this economy only doing wedding photography?  Isn't that a down grade not to become a professor?

Wife was a photographer for a number of years.  The thought of wedding photography physically sickened her.  She did one wedding and the bride's mother was an overbearing shrew.  Never again.  YMMV but weddings are a time of high stress for many people and the photographer can sometimes be an unwitting punching bag for people wigging out.  Plus, the photographer has to be pretty forceful, getting the wedding party to put the booze down long enough to snap some of those cliched pictures by the fountain or the foot bridge or whatever.  Invariably, Uncle Drunky is going to get grumpy when told to stand over there and smile.

Tell her to give this one some serious thought.

TLDR:  Ummm....yeah, if she's good and willing to do the hustle.  By a couple orders of magnitude, probably.

Met many brides/their families?  They will pay through the nose for many things, but nothing as high end wedding photography in my experience. "IT'S ALL WE'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS DAY BY WHEN WE'RE 80!!!!!!"   When my bride and I got hitched we went and talked to a handful of photographers.  The guy with the most expansive portfolio, and billing his style as a "photojournalistic", wanted nearly as much to do photos as we were spending on the rest of the wedding (dress included). 

One of my best friends used to do wedding videography for the post house he worked at.  It was horrid, thankless, ####ty work, both during and after until the final product was delivered.....but the ROI for that business/himself was the highest of any vertical they were in, so they refused to stop doing them even though everyone on staff despised the work with the white, hot intensity of 1,000 suns.  Those 3 or 4 months in the summer would allow the company to take on passion projects/public service stuff throughout the remainder of the year that they'd normally have to turn down because of the low budgets.

At our wedding we had an free 90 minutes in between the wedding photographs and the reception. So like any normal wedding party where the bride and groom met drunk in a bar, we went and got drunk at a bar (not the one we met in) and convinced the photographer to come with us and snap some pictures there too. Intent was for him to just get some candid pics, but we ended up with a great set of posed pics of the group there. Then I offered him a beer and ended up bellying up and BSing with him while everyone else was whooping it up. Then I bought him another, and another. Threw in a shot or two there. I don't think he was much of a drinker. The poor guy never took any candids at the bar and was looking a bit messy at the reception, but everything we ended up with photowise was fantastic. 

 
The radio has been running ads lately for University of Maryland University College licensed to operate in Virginia.

There's no way that place is legit, right? Like, it would be hard to come up with a more fake name.

"Where'd you get your degree?" 

"Oh, I got it from Idaho College School of University in Laos"

tis the season of bragging that you haven't done any Christmas shopping for your wife & kids :thumbup:

congratulations, you lummox, we're all super impressed that you feel the need to crow about it.......... again. we don't understand why you need to proudly exclaim that you do all your shopping on Christmas Eve night but here we are. again. enthralled by your stories of how little time you have to do dumb #### like buy toys for your kids. everyone knows only #### shop, so you're only doing it to make your wife happy.

and, yes, we all agree it's the funniest thing ever to buy cheap, ####ty gifts for your wife. HILARIOUS her reaction when she opens that big box designed to make her think you pulled through this year but all that's inside is a used $10 bath robe you got at Goodwill. 

bet the family can't wait to blow the air horn in your ear at 10 AM  to rouse you from your drunken "sleep". and, yep, i bet they love that you're #### up on the recliner by 2 because you're 8 whiskies deep.   Merry Christmas!

Gotta make this one of these weekends.  Of course the kids would probably think it's too spicy and my wife has some food allergies including eggs, so... :porked:

Apparently its pretty easy to turn down the heat and not really lose anything. As a matter of fact, albeit unintentionally,  i just succeeded at that.
