No, I was not at the inauguration today. There is one other Zander Goss in the world, from Florida (which probably explains the ludicrous idea of going to the inauguration). I used to get his emails a lot (including one time he tried to email himself his homework and accidentally sent it to me).

After 4 student visas, two spousal visas, and getting Indefinite Leave to Remain, today I took UK citizenship. After a celebratory lunch, I took my first sip of tea as a British national (I retain my US citizenship)

So now that there’s actually a mass of people on here that I used to engage with in the Other Place, I’m finally posting on here! Excited to re-engage with the #UKlaw community. Is that what we’re calling it? #UKLawSky? Or Legal Bluesphere? The Legal Skymanati? Skyrati?
