Just wanted to pass along a friendly hello from my new digs out west. Kim and I completed the 3000 mile journey in a Penske truck towing our car and our dalmatian Lincoln riding right between us in the cab. It was an adventure, but it never ceases to amaze me how awesome it can be to drive across this country...even the seemingly endless Nebraska.
We have found housing for now, but are hoping to buy a place soon. The weather is amazing right now and I can't wait for us to get unpacked enough to start exploring the coast and the mountains all within an hour's drive. There won't be too much time, however, as Oregon Law School orientation starts next week! Wow. I can't believe that I'm finally just getting around to getting back to school and Josh has already secured a Masters and has reclaimed SAC.
Upon leaving DC I was given the opportunity to have a departure photo with the President. My whole family came in and walked right into the Oval and chatted with GWB for a few minutes...including discussing Graeters Ice Cream. It was pretty neat and hopefully we will have pictures soon. I must say it is a little weird being totally out of the loop and not having access to the latest national security intelligence whenever I want...but I think I'll manage.
Here's hoping that Jammers makes it out here soon and other links follow.
Best,
Kirk

SAC WELCOMES NEW ADVISOR
July 30, 2007

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Student-Alumni Council (SAC) would like to welcome Josh Harraman as its new advisor. Josh started in his new role as director of student programs for the Ohio State University Alumni Association (OSUAA) on July 23. Josh holds a bachelor of arts degree from The Ohio State University in history as well as a Masters from Bowling Green State University. Josh brings a varied background to the position and has demonstrated his excellent advising and program development ability in several previous positions.
Most recently Josh served as the program coordinator for student organization development at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where his main duties involved overseeing the Student Organization Resource Center as well as collaborating with other university departments to provide resources for student organizations. After graduating from Ohio State in June of 2004, Josh worked in Greek affairs at Bowling Green State University where he held positions ranging from graduate intern to graduate advisor for the Interfraternity Council and coordinator of fraternity expansion.
Most important, however, Josh is a Buckeye and a SACer at heart. He is an alumnus of SAC who served on the executive board as vice president of programming. Josh was also the Homecoming King in 2003 and chaired Welcome Week. Josh’s experiences at Ohio State while an undergraduate and in his professional career are evidence that he is a perfect candidate for the position and will work hard to further SAC’s mission as well as its vision for the university.
The Student-Alumni Council is a student advancement organization dedicated to serving Ohio State students past, present, and future through the support and coordination of university and Alumni Association events. A member of the Association for Student Advancement Programs (ASAP) and its parent organization, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), SAC strives to advance The Ohio State University through programs that enhance the student experience, promote student-alumni interaction, and establish a spirit of loyalty to the university.
Cajun South is actually where it's at...

I wanted to let all of you know that I just moved down to New Orleans (NOLA) last week to start law school in a couple weeks here at Tulane! I would have posted something sooner, but there was quite a bit of uncertainty with the move, as I had a truck reserved to make the drive but no housing set up to arrive at, ha! It's difficult looking for housing from a distance, plus people in NOLA tend to post rental openings when they become available or maybe a couple weeks before. But it's all good - I found a great house within walking distance to the school, and one of the roommates is also an OSU grad!
Right now I'm just spending my days unpacking and making sure everything is in order before classes start. My nights have been a different story... I've been out with some of the other 1L's the last 3 nights until anytime between 3:00-4:30 in the morning... and any of those could easily have gone later! When there's no stupid law about bars closing at a certain time or having open containers outside, that changes all the rules! I've been to several bars and restaurants around campus and the French Quarter, to the house that will likely become a weekly party destination, and to an event called White Linen night... art galleries open their doors and there's live music and drinks and food... it was reminiscent of Gallery Hop, and great for people watching: I've already been inspired to purchase a seersucker suit for dressy occasions or even moot court!
I hope each (all??) of you will be able to visit down here... I'll be around for at least 3 years, so there's plenty of time. And I've heard whisperings of a possible advance to the Big Easy next spring, so let me know if you're up for that and I'll make sure the city is ready for you!
I hope everyone is doing well. SPHINX Love,
