TaxProf Blog: Tax Prof in Paradise

January 10, 2011

I am thrilled to be spending the spring semester at Pepperdine University School of Law as the D & L Straus Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law. I got a taste of this special law school last March, teaching a one-week short course during my spring break from Cincinnati, and I am looking forward to getting to know the school, its faculty, and its students even better this semester. Pepperdine has a wonderfully distinctive mission in American legal education, particularly the integration of the Christian faith in all aspects of life at the school. I have fallen in love with Southern California during my seven summers teaching at the University of San Diego School of Law, and I am looking forward to the warm sunshine after an unusually harsh midwestern December. With both of our children now off to college, my wife and I feel blessed to be able to spend part of our first empty nest year in beautiful Malibu, California among our new neighbors.

Sounds like someone is contemplating a permanent move . . .

Wow. I am very jealous. Malibu, CA is paradise in the Spring time.

If you like sea food, you can't beat the freshness and location of Malibu Seafood, right on PCH. Mmm, I may have to swing by for lunch this week.

If you want to impress your wife, take her to Moonshadows, right on the PCH. Lovely little place, very romantic.

Just remember, dinner's nondeductible. :)

Actually, Professor Caron's exquisite dinner likely will be partially deductible as a business/travel expense under Section 162(a)(2).

Nothing tastes quite as good as a tax deduction (but hold the sauce).
