Juris Doctor 72 and 73 of 215
Holy Cow! Two intense weeks and none of it really due to Law School. Work has been tumultuous to say the least. I suspect things will significantly calm down for a short while. The operative word is “short.” I generally have a manageable Family-Work-School schedule. I’m determined to catch back up and build that buffer… Read More

Law school is like eating an elephant. You approach it one bite at a time. It sure feels like I’m eating a huge elephant some times. I will bludgeon my way to victory!

Well is is good to get back into the saddle. Law school started back up this past week. The Dean told us that “the first year of law school, we try to scare you to death, the second, we try to work you to death”. The way I looks at it is that I now… Read More
R.I.P. Land Rover
The mechanics pronounced it terminal and I called it yesterday at 4:00 PM EST. My beloved Land Rover will be parked and sold to other gluttons-for-punishment or local cannibals. I was very fond of that money pit, but, a “tough love” position had to be taken to stop the financial hemorrhaging. A 2010 Nissan Murano… Read More

Never be a victim by choice I tell my children.
