I caught sight of a woman with long, gray hair and more than a few wrinkles, bent forward and struggling against the wind carrying a large Redweld folder. As I covertly examined her reflection, I thought: "Oh, XXXX, that's me."

Life And Law Are Both Full Of Interruptions

A few years after I left my rock band I returned to playing music, this time with a duo. My partner handled the guitar work and we both sang. I do play bass, but everyone agreed that my bass playing should not leave the living room, so there it stayed.

Offering Better Advice Than Dr. Phil

If I can't be properly qualified to serve as an expert witness in the retrial of Vendrella v.

In spite of the fact that I have three finished novel manuscripts which have somehow escaped publication despite fierce efforts on the author's part to attract attention to them, and three-quarters of a fourth, I am not giving up. I will just shift focus.

Recently it has dawned on me that my life's work consists of drivel. I aspire to contributing to the academic literature in such a way as to grant me a measure of immortality, not to mention some desperately desired respect. I decided to build upon a scholarly model previously employed by Elisabeth K bler-Ross, who defined and described the various emotional stages of death and grieving.

As you all know, I loathe poetry. However, in the interests of amusing my seven and a half regular readers, I am turning to some vexatious verse in the interests of avoiding the realization that I am still blah hours short of my billable goal. Alas, this endeavor will not get me any closer.

Over the life of my law practice, I have discovered some simple provisos which have proven helpful in coping with the vagaries of civil litigation. I have reproduced them here, for your reading pleasure, or rueful acknowledgment of their uncomfortable accuracy, as the case may be.
