Sitting beside a babbling brook calms the nerves. It’s a peaceful, serene feeling. Too bad babbling brooks aren’t indoors. But wait! You can bring some of those benefits inside with wall fountains.

5 Life Lessons from the Bar Exam
Last Tuesday and Wednesday, I joined several hundred other budding lawyers in Roanoke, Virginia. We sat through 12 hours of examinations, and I think everyone survived. I’m not sure that I know anything about the law, but I learned some good lessons about life.
1. Sneakers don’t go with a suit
Virginia is definitely stuck in the past. We all had to wear suits for both days of the exam. But to keep the noise down on the hard floor, we had to wear soft-soled shoes. For most people, this meant sneakers. Needless to say, we …
