did a trademark lawyer write this

Moxie loves the snow so much and this is the only thing keeping me going through a relentless winter in Reno.

I have a new lawyer joining my in-house team at Burning Man Project today! This is such an exciting feeling. I’m so relieved to have increased bandwidth on our team and the opportunity to mentor a junior lawyer.

I often give advice to our event operations team at Burning Man Project, which primarily communicates by two-way radio in Black Rock City. So I’ll spend a long time agonizing over how to word an email and the response is just… “copy” or “roger that.” Makes me laugh every time.

Moxie and I take a show dog training class on Sunday mornings and she works so hard in the ring. It’s adorable. Our next show is in Fresno in a few weeks and we are going to blow dry her furnishings so well, hairspray her eyebrows just right, and strut our stuff so hard!

We took a car ride with Moxie and ended up in Carson City and my sweet man said let’s just stay the night! And he found a dog friendly hotel and walked Moxie to a local pet store for her food and now we are having Italian food and this is just the best little unplanned getaway!

Reno lost an amazing tree in my neighborhood in recent storms. It stood in the Truckee River, was home to many birds, and shaded the patio at our local bar. Artist Steve LeFevre, who lives in our building, put up this tribute to the tree (left) which is GONE but not forgotten.

Moxie saw her boyfriend Scruffy last night. He is an ancient rescue who only has eyes for her and they have the best time playing together. 🥹

Took my first walk of the new year… I loved this morning’s snow and blue hues. Happy 2023, everyone! 💙
