Today is the last work day of 2011 for me. I’m rather grateful. It has been a long year. I’m ready for the new year to begin.
I’d post my new year’s resolutions for you to ponder but I quit making those darn things a long time ago. I never kept them, anyway. Nah, it just [...]

I’ve been at my new law office for a year (plus a few days) now and I must say that I enjoy walking to work. It’s a great way to clear my head before the onslaught of crisis matters that I know will await me. It’s also the only exercise I get (not counting having [...]

Day 1: Inconvenience.
At approximately 6:30 p.m., the power flickers then goes out. I hold my breath. It comes on again almost immediately, then flickers one last time and dies. I don’t know it at the time but it will be several days before I have the luxury of power.
I spend a [...]

I’m a proud member of the George J. Penney High School class of 1978. Yes, that makes me older right now than I’d care to admit. It could be worse. But I digress.
Penney High was the second high school to be built in the town where I grew up. The first class graduated in 1965 [...]

Ah, at long last, Friday has arrived. I don’t know about you, but it’s been a long week for a “short” week. Um, the Labor Day holiday was this past Monday and I was off, thus the “short” week. During this short week, I can’t tell you how many fires were put [...]

The internet can be a wonderful place but it can also be a scary place. There are reputable businesses on the ‘net but just as many scams. It’s the former I’m thankful for and the latter I wish to eradicate with a nuclear bomb.
I bring this up because today, I received an overdraft notice on [...]

Hurricane Irene ravaged Connecticut on Sunday, leaving something like 700,000 customers without power. I was 2 of them. Yes, 2. No power at home and no power at my law office. I hate it when there’s no power. [Whine, whine.]
The landlord told me this morning that the folks at the power company estimated that our [...]

As you can well imagine, I’ve been taking a lot of good-natured ribbing since the weather folks began warning us all about the impending hurricane that bears my name. Hurricane Irene is supposed to be a witch of a storm.
My mom once told me that after I’d had a particularly infuriating fight with my ex [...]

My days are typically hectic and stressful. I’m a lawyer, after all. It comes with the territory. Most days, I take it all in stride. Then there are days like today. Days that go down in the books as “bad days” …
You know you’re having a bad day when you haven’t slept well the night [...]

I was in my office this afternoon, sitting in my comfy chair in front of the computer. The chair is one of those black leather “executive” chairs that rocks, swivels and can even roll across the room. I’m easily amused. I love my chair.
I was deep in thought (which is scary all on its own) [...]
