Been Busy.
We're in the middle of another term of criminal court. There are only two attorneys at the office, and we each got appointed to the co-defendants in this case for the purposes of bond (which was denied for each defendant). Ultimately, a decent defense to each defendant requires that we can't represent both within the office, so we'll only keep one. Harris will decide which one we'll keep, and which one we'll pass along to the "second tier" appointed counsel. Lot of publicity, which I hope won't prejudice a prospective jury panel; however, there are stories throughout the State, so it'd be tough to find a venue to which to transfer this case, in the event it looked like that might be something appropriate to do. Main thing I get out of the videos is that I really have to lose some weight.

Hey...do you make Victory Cookies when you win a trial? Unfortunately I'm finding that VC's aren't ideal for weight loss...
I used to get pretty excited about winning. Ego was my primary motivation, and my clients were just a reason to battle. Now? Nowadays, it's more about my clients and I only try cases when I can't get a case worked out. Of course, if I can't get a case worked out, I want to win.
Winning isn't everything... it's the only thing! (besides losing... oh, and there's always tying, don't forget tying, oh, yeah and do overs, those are great!)
Wow, that looks like a heavy scene. Cop killers huh? I thought teachers had it rough...
I think it's admirable you do the job you do. Cannot be easy.
And there you are on the news! Hey, I know that guy...remember, the camera adds twenty pounds. So you don't necessarily have to lose some weight. Just give up those dead animals. :-)
Why were out dating yourself a few weeks back? I find it hard to believe there isn't some nice woman in that small town who'd love a lawyer type and teddy bear features to cuddle with...come on!
Yeah, Ange, do overs are what you get after a successful appeal. I've had a couple of those.
Thanks, Kate. But like Matthew Perry's character said to Monica in an episode of Friends, "Just how many cameras were ON you?". I really do need to drop a couple/few kilos. I've tried to stop eating dead animals, but they keep biting back when I eat 'em live. I do date some (though I haven't in a few months), but mostly I just take care of the Lads. I'll prolly get back in the game eventually, maybe when I grow up a little more.
Go and get healthy then, I'm on your side. ;-)
I'm with Kate, the camera does add pounds. You aren't a skinny scrawny type guy.
As for dating......We have a running joke in my family. We talk about getting hit by a bus. I tell the office manager at work, "If I get hit by a bus, this is how you do this or that", or I tell my son, "if I get hit by a bus, this pot can't go in the dishwasher. So...if my husband gets hit by the bus..which he references also, look me up ;)
Why are you carrying around dead animals? You'd prolly look thinner if you didn't (and you looked ok to me).
Thanks, Tam and John. I'm never gonna be skinny, but I know I'd feel better a little lighter. Maybe down from 230 to, like, 210. John are you, like Kate, a vegetarian? I thought there was the whole bacon thing? I definitely want to eat LESS meat, anyway.
That was such a delicious set-up, Dave (mmmm... bacon), but I'm not going to bite (even though I'm feeling a little hungry).
More porcine prattle? Well, you continue to bring home the bacon. Nobody here but us chickens.
Good gosh Andy, you sound like MY brother with that bit about winning being "the only thing." Are you sharing HIS brain now?
SD: Did you know that you can help reduce methane gas in the air by not eating cow? Just another reason to quit eating flesh.
Cows produce lots of methane, I'm told. I thought by eating them...
Thank god we almost killed off all those millions of buffalos that were out galavanting over the Great Plains.
My ancestors were pretty thorough, I'm afraid. 'Course, if you're in the mood for a large helping of guilt, read "A People's History of America"; you'll be dog-cussing Columbus.
Thanks, but no thanks. I'm happy that I live here in America. You can feel guilty if you like.
No, I love our country, too. I can watch a John Wayne movie without feeling bad for the injuns; however, when you mentioned the buffaloes, I remembered that Buffalo Bill Cody wasn't hunting buffalo for food, but to remove the natives' food source. Which reminded me that the great shining city on the hill from sea to shining sea wasn't built by carebears, is all, which is a long way from "I sure am getting fat and maybe I ought not to eat (so much) meat".
It was the Indians' country first before white man took over. I always taught my son that the "cowboys" were really the bad guys. As he got older and learned more about history he saw that was true.
My son jokes and says "white men will be the death of us all". And yes.... he is half white. Italian, Puerto Rican, Irish, Scottish.
I am Irish, Scottish, Italian.
I happen to agree with him.
While the winners generally write the history books; A People's History of America" is an exception. You might actually want to read it, Tam; though the writing style isn't very inspiring.
I never said that you didn't love our country, Dave. I know better than that. And BBC turned out to be an Indian advocate in the end.
...and Tam, I hope you know I don't condone racism. The mother of my four children was adopted and I have no idea who her ancestors were. It didn't matter, and it doesn't.
Dave, NO I know you don't condone racism. I hope you didn't think that is what i meant. I was just stating that I taught my little guy that Indians were here first and "we" (white men) took their land from them. I am about as white in color as you can get. I don't see you as a racist or condoning racism at all. :)
I'm glad, Tam.
