I’m going to wade into a debate here that anyone with more common sense than I have would avoid like the plague. Well, sort of.

The Unbearable Heaviness of Being
November 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Several friends of mine are going through difficult times right now. The world has dealt — or is dealing — several of them a hand which nobody wants to have to play. I always feel inadequate in terms of knowing what to say in these kinds of situations. Some time back, I read a novel […]

48 Things You Could Care Less About…
November 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Okay, I don’t usually do these, because I figure that they’re in the 48 things most of my blog readers could care less about. On the other hand, I sometimes like looking at them myself, because I enjoy learning new things about people I know — and most of the blogs I read belong to […]

Celebumation
November 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments
I should be celebrating today, but I’m feeling a little bummed out. I guess it’s because, in concert with my wife this morning, I’m finding myself wondering why we (she and me) live where we live. We’re fairly happy that Obama won the election. She’s ecstatic. I’m have hopes that the downward slide of the […]

This Is My Lawyer…
September 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment
My friend, Bob Marcotte of Marcotte Photography, took about a hundred-and-fifty pictures of me yesterday. He sent this one over via email last night, saying, “This is my lawyer…” in the subject heading. The body, other than the photo, just said “…sue me. I dare you.” Yes, it’s true. I’m a criminal defense attorney. Find […]

On Getting Older
August 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments
The days go by so fast, spinning out of control. The nights — nights of precious and necessary sleep seem to run by even faster. Before I know it, another is gone. I shower, lather up my hair and think: “Didn’t I just do this a minute ago?” Why does the time fly? I still remember […]

The Destabilizing, Decarbonizing Power of Rick
March 12th, 2008 · No Comments
Wow. This is truly amazing. Last year, I got on a health kick. I stopped drinking carbonated beverages. I never knew I had this much power, though!

Leaking a Spring
July 20th, 2006 · No Comments
Well, this is just lovely here. Three days of studying left for the state bar exam and this place stinks to high heaven. Yesterday, there was a flood here. Apparently, a reservoir on the roof, which holds water for the air-conditioning unit for the Rowell Building, sprang (has sprung? sproing? sprïngenfülten?) a major leak. There […]

Sleep
May 14th, 2006 · No Comments
Well, last Monday was the last Final Examination of my law school career — unless I really blew Wills & Trusts! This week, for some reason, all I’ve wanted to do is sleep. I’m simply exhausted. Somehow, though, I’m going to have to muster a bit more strength. I’ve got this little pop quiz coming […]

Your Mouse’s Battery Is Low
February 22nd, 2006 · No Comments
As if I didn’t have enough problems already, my computer has been complaining to me all day that my mouse’s battery is low. I don’t know why, but that struck me as funny. Perhaps it’s because for the last two months, we’ve been trying to do something about some tree rodents that got into our […]
