Summer in Minnesota

There's not much that's better, particularly spending weekends out of the city at a lake home or cabin.

I remember last summer when I was in bar exam review class. I didn't leave the city any weekend, and when I would drive home from work at 5pm on a Friday and the roads were empty, I would feel so resentful of how everyone but me had already fled the city for the lake, and how I was the only one who had to just stay home and study all weekend instead of sipping cocktails on pontoon boats.

Not this year, folks. This July, we are going to be at the lake 3 of the 5 weekends. First Mille Lacs for Johan's baptism; then Brita's place in Alexandria; then a place my mom rents on a chain of lakes near Coldspring.

Bar exams vs. cocktails and lake-front cabins with my family and friends? No contest. Come on July, I'm ready for you.
