I’m back, I shouldn’t have left you, without a.....

If you get that reference you win..........again, nothing. The holidays, work and a conference in another city has stolen my time. But, it has definitely been a great ride the last few days. I got to learn from a bunch of old men how they won trial under the most precarious positions: a pen, a pad and no evidence! Really, why is the past so much more glorious in the stories we tell later? All lawyers do is tell anecdotes......for everyone else: LONG STORIES.....really long stories. Most of them were great. Some were so incoherent; I know they were making everything up as they went along. I can wait to have ‘war stories’ to tell to other young lawyers and revel in their rapt attention (or glazed-over expression). Ahhhh, the future. I’ll be sporadic the next few weeks, but I’m going to make a valiant effort to bless all the readers with my astute analysis of the human condition, (The BS meter is going through the roof......), life in Louisville, and my utter hatred and revulsion of all things stupid.
