A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
Over the last several weeks, a kind of peace has come over me. My schedule is busier, but my mind, while occupied with more work-related minutiae, is like the sea after a storm. I’m tired often, but not the kind of exhaustion that makes me scream inside with desperate panic. I’m just tired after a [...]
“Dear Ndugu”
I have a PencilPal now, an elementary school girl that I got hooked up with through the BookPals program. We write letters to each other. Actually, she wrote me one and now I’m getting ready to write her back. All I can think of is About Schmidt. I hope I don’t [...]
So it’s 2 a.m. I crashed out early, and suddenly woke up, fully alert and thoughts racing.
Get up to go to the bathroom (seriously, does my cat actually think I got up at this hour JUST to get her a treat?) and then realize I’ll never get back to sleep. So I took [...]
There is a person at work who has come to my attention. She is completely without finesse. She is, dare I say, bitchy, won’t put herself out for anyone, not trying to please anyone.
I think I’m in love.
My co-worker thinks I’m kidding. Part of me is, but part of me is completely intrigued. How does [...]

We’re taking a day trip today. It’s too gorgeous out!
We saw Flash of Genius yesterday. It wasn’t amazingly made, but Greg Kinnear is a good actor. Not putting De Niro out of business, but [...]
Yesterday was a good day. Our judge had his investiture, so we didn’t have any hearings yesterday, just went to the investiture ceremony. It’s pretty cool to see someone take the oath and become a judge. Conrad came, and he said he might want to go to all the new judge investitures [...]
You know, I may not possess the natural grace, the good humor, the patience, the relaxedness that some people do. I may not be self-promoting or aggressive. I may not always be quick on my feet, or confident, or smooth. I may not ever be fearless, or sure of what I want, [...]
Today this attorney came into our office and when he left, he was singing “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.” I haven’t talked with him at all about my book; as far as I know, he doesn’t know it exists. Would he really just go around singing that? I wonder if he’s messing with me. Either [...]
Yes, the nap did indeed signify incipient illness. We had Conrad’s mom and my dad over, and Max’s hab worker, and he blew out the candles and enjoyed some of his smaller toys. He particularly liked the bean bag chair my dad got him, and sat sedately in it for some time. This, too, was [...]
Max is napping. Max NEVER naps. It’s all suspicious. Is he sick? Does he have an ear infection? It’s hard to tell because he can’t tell us when he does.
Conrad’s off getting the bike. It’s been the crusade of the week. First I had the receipt, but no time to go get it. I get [...]
