This spring and early summer have been hectic, and I am grateful to be home again. Wisconsin can be really lovely in the summer, at least on days that aren't too humid and when the mosquitoes are subdued. Today was one of those days.

This was a big day for our family because my 16-year-old daughter earned her driver's license. We spent part of yesterday practicing parallel parking, and today we learned the fine points of a Y-turn. Talk about cramming! Anyway, she seems like a fine driver, but I am as nervous as I can be about this.

Now that all of my grades are finally in (apologies to all of the spring students who had to endure the delay, which is unprecedented for me), I am looking forward to completing a couple of symposium articles, and I am excited about the prospects for the new blog, Law & Entrepreneurship News, which I will be producing with the help of some student editors. Applications have been pouring in, and we should have an editorial board within a week.

Do I miss Germany? Some things. I like having the chance to speak German, unless I don't know the vocabulary, and then I get frustrated. I miss being able to watch the Euro Cup matches. I miss the great cheese section of the local grocery store, which made even Whole Foods and Brennan's look a bit skimpy. But it is nice to be back home again.
