THE WORLD NEEDS MORE COMMENTARY FROM THE HENRY OMG OMG

I know what you mean about huge-scale litigation; when I summered in NYC I was totally turned off by it. I was just turned off more by the corporate stuff.

I'm really looking seriously into litigation boutiques in San Francisco, or small offices of big firms that function like one. It didn't seem like the NY market was really able to support such shops, hence the rapid consolidiation over the past decade or so, but the market in SF seems to have stabilized at a smaller size, so hopefully I'll be able to find what I'm looking for.

As for food, my family's home is about 1/4 mile from Chez Panisse, and we would shop at all the wonderful produce and meat markets and bakeries in Berkeley all throughout my childhood, something I continued to do when I was at the university. That was probably the single thing I missed most in NYC--New York has a ton of restaurants with fantastic chefs and innovative cooking, but the raw ingredients just aren't up to snuff 95% of the time, including most of the stuff from the farmer's markets. Even in San Diego, the other day, I bought a tomato at the local grocery store for about 30 cents that was better than any tomato I had EVER had in three years of living in New York.

Not to rub it in.
