“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” – Meister Eckhart Saw the latest James Bond movie, “Quantum of Solace.” Fun and very much Bond. Actor Daniel Craig makes one feel Bond’s pain (psychological and physical neither are that much fun). Judi Dench and Jeffrey Wright also [...]

Pardon the lengthiness of the post; I got behind in blogging due to the progress of my National Novel Writing Month project. Various articles on the state of the legal profession, at least from the NY Times. (ABA Journal has articles, too, apparently, but I’m way behind on reading that): An article on how even [...]

It’s finally here: Election Day!!! Go vote!!! Make history!!!

Halloween 2008 – got in the subway in the morning; saw people in their costumes already. Some teenagers in the clown face of The Joker, a la Heath Ledger’s portrayal in “The Dark Knight.” A woman dressed as the Gecko of the Geico commercials (seriously weird). Some guy looking like a daisy. When I got [...]
