Motocamp ‘09 gets delayed a little.

The bar review people have pretty much structured every day of my life for the next two months.  After tomorrow, there are no “free” days.  In other words, there are practice problems and essays I need to do everyday, in addition to the creating and studying flash cards, outlines, etc. 

Motocamp ‘09 will still happen, but it must wait until after the bar is done.  Sorry, gang.
