Hmmmm….

The better half has now been gone for more than one week. She’s down in D.C. attending the annual American Academy of Pediatrics conference. Since I was unable (thanks judge!) to fly down there after the conference ended two days ago I am still here at home with the dog, KD. While KD is fantastic company she’s not even a remotely close or suitable replacement for actual real-life adult companionship.

I’ve been working very long hours this week preparing for a trial next week (not the one originally scheduled to start this week which required me to miss a trip to D.C.) along with a rather difficult change of plea proceeding which occurred today. Some aspects of the job are so emotionally draining to deal with and walking the dog or commiserating with colleagues brings some solace I do wish I could just drink two or three drinks and fall asleep early. That’s not an option tonight because I just started two weeks of being on-duty after hours. Since someone in the recent past got drunk and was unable to do the job we’ve now been fully advised that drinking too excess or close to excess will not be tolerated.

That’s just too bad in my book. Friends, good food and drinking to slight excess is quite fun for a Friday or Saturday evening.

Not much

Not much going on lately.
