Thanks to Mark King, who was instrumental in getting me to take the part of Scoopy the Bee recently (see previous post “The Sting“), I have new photographs of my night with the kids. I’ve added them to the album titled “The Bee All & The End All“) in my Gallery. I also neglected to […]

I had the privilege tonight of playing the part of Scoopy the Bee for a group of children. It was truly a terrific time and I was glad to be a part of it. I don’t want to give out a lot of detail here, because I admit that I don’t fully understand “the rules.”

Suffice it to say that it was a Christmas event for children who are going through some terribly tough times. They and their mothers are being protected from abusive spouses; they’re essentially in hiding.

I originally posted this on a bulletin board of our law school in response to another student’s comment that we all need to relax during Winter Break. It seemed appropriate to reproduce it here, as well. From an otherwise rambling and only intermittently interesting law review article (Bailey, “Legal Education: The Illusion of Truth,” 25 […]

Over the next several months, I’ll begin to move some stuff I created for my other website, TechStop™. At least until law school is finished, nearly all my limited creative efforts will be devoted […]

Well, it would be if it weren’t for things like this. Yesterday was the first day I had an opportunity to get out into the community. With law school and a full-time job, I usually have a quite limited circuit: Wake up in the morning around 6 to 6:30 a.m., drive the approximately 10 miles […]

Well, law school midterms (for me) are finally over. Last night was my Basic Tax Law final and now I get a breather until the next semester. I’m going to use it to research the possibility of suing the City of Clovis and/or one of my neighbors. Before trashing me as typical of just what’s […]

By a “stupid act,” Halliburton, Vice-President Cheney’s company, has overcharged the United States military $61 million.

They say they MIGHT give it back.

Maybe if we say, “Pretty please?”

This past three weeks, I’ve gotten up to 400 (yes, that’s what I said, four hundred) spam messages per day on my primary email box. Of course, I’ve had the same address for about 11 or so years now. So there’s been plenty of time for that address to be sold over and over and over.

Which is why that particular address no longer exists.
