Tonight, I read in horror and grief that one of the ports on our Mediterranean cruise had been attacked by terrorists. Even worse, it was on the exact same cruise line, cruise ship, and itenarary that we were on in July of last year. It made me so sad, as the country where this happened …
A Day in the Life
Sometimes I think that folks believe that the life of a lawyer merely consists of sending some paperwork back and forth, going to court, and talking to opposing counsel. It’s way more than that. Let me tell you about a day in the life of me, the attorney.Thankfully I don’t have to be to work …
Rainy Sunday
It’s a rainy Sunday, as I sit here in my house, looking out the large windows we have all around. It looks pretty dreary outside, which is probably good, since I have a bit of legal work to get done before the start of another busy week.I have to write a brief. I don’t know …
To Take or Not To Take
I’m sersiously considering taking the Florida Bar exam. Not just a fleeing moment kind of thing. An actual, persistent thought that keeps me awake on some evenings. Maybe I’m scared (bar exams are not easy), but maybe I’m just excited. Excited to see if I can do it again (pass, that is).The cost is pretty …
Life Changes, You Change for the Better
I just finished a book on OCD. No, I don’t think I have OCD, although I do have some compulsive issues that I deal with every day. Or are they obsessive? Either way I’m not too bad. I actually felt better after reading it, like I was not so weird after all. I think that …
The Note
I sometimes work from home. I like it, because I can be in my PJs, with my favorite fuzzy child near my side, looking out at the woods in front of our house. I also like it because it’s quiet. Peaceful. No phones ringing, since we don’t have a home phone, and no one to …
Healing, Part Two
About 10 years ago, I had just filed for divorce. My marriage of 14.8 years was over, as I’d had enough. I had also finally found the courage to be brave enough to say that I had had enough. And let me tell you, that takes some courage! Finally shedding that bad marriage skin, I …
Oh Freddie
Tonight, we are doing our typical New Year’s Eve celebration - at home. We don’t go out because of all the craziness, deciding to stay home and chill out, drinks in hand, watching bowl games and surfing the internet. Tonight’s tribute, personally, is Freddie Mercury, who was, in my opinion, the most gifted vocalist of …
Magical Lights, Now Put Away, Again
We put away our Christmas decor today. It was time, as I need to get back to work, back to making the family dollar, so that we can eat and such things. I typically wait until New Year’s Day to put the things away, but this year, since it’s on a Thursday and I will …
Silent Night
I write tonight, late. I cannot sleep. I’ve been awake for hours, and more than I could imagine, originally. Dreaming of France on this evening, I wonder when I will back on her shores. I dream of Normandy. I would love to see the beaches where our forces fought those oh-so-many years ago. Where …
