Today is my wife’s first day at a new job. I am super excited for her and I hope she can learn and enjoy it. I tried to get her re-focused over the weekend. Instead of focusing on her fears, I...


LAST NIGHT was Wife’s last day of work for Wal Mart. As expected, she was a mess but I share that not to shame her but to sow/foster/demonstrate understanding. She had been working for Wal Mart...


So… the Trump Whitehouse has finally put in place sanctions against Russia. Finally. What were the two likely biggest factors influencing this long past due action? I propose the following: (1)...


This is a sentiment being echoed by many U.S. allies. After all… Trump may have lucked his way into a Nuclear Disarmament with North Korea… a difficult task brought about almost exclusively bec...


(Psalm 70 reference) 8:53 - When I awoke today… I was mildly annoyed at having to wake so early and come in to work. - As I got into the rental car, I was struggling to figure out when I would be...


So… a way to start the new week. Remember last week when White Boss told me to straight up move my car appointment? Instead of asking me if it would affect work or trying to determine what my pl...


This morning, I decided to sleep in. After all, I don’t have a key to get inside this new office and I’m not going to show up to work “on time” if it means that I have to wait in my car until som...


The Ideal Survey… just to have something more fun here Answer the following questions with your ideal answers, not the real ones. First, what would you like your birthday to be? April 1, 1990 Wh...


Sometimes life happens and it is worth chronicling. Sometimes. Last night? At about 17:00, White Boss told me he wanted me to go through all of the Discovery for one of his cases that he had a h...


First full day in the new office. White Boss’ truck is here when I arrive. I get into the building, set everything up and… yeah. Still haven’t seen a single person. Not White Boss, not Chinese...


Constitutional Convention votes are votes that a State Government takes up to attempt to demand that the Constitution consider new amendments. Iowa is currently attempting to be the 13th State t...


Instead of opening up today about myself… I wanted to open up today about my wife. She had an interview this morning! She was freaking out all weekend. Like… short tempered, snappy, asking for...



The title is a just for fun Marvel reference. Curious to see who picked up on it. Drove to work. More expensive parking garage. Come to work. Only lawyer. Look at my list of things to do… yu...


Grumble grumble grumble Woke up this morning… several times. Came in to work… totally empty office. Muse comes in shortly after and actually says, “Where is everybody?” I have no idea. I chec...


The word “Fantasy” in four different world languages. I find the similarities interesting since those are not at all languages that share a common “umbrella.” You have Slavic, Germanic, Romanti...


and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. So, as can be/should be understood… my body is super unhappy. Like… I can feel that old familiar rage deep inside of me that has “no pu...


… to find a man of steel. My body and back are very tight, sore, and in pain. I am slow walking today because of it. I don’t know how much I’ll get done at work. I know that, technically, sinc...


Granted, I’m not in the best moods right now as it is. I am having one of those uniquely Fibro days where… my pain isn’t excruciating or demanding… but sensitive. Like every nerve fiber in my bo...


There are many ways in which I would do things differently were I one of my bosses. But lets pretend that no amount of positive change would have prevented me as employee walking away. After an ...


So… I should have seen this coming… I should have seen this coming from a mile away. I have a few more weeks left at my job. Leaving this job was thoroughly and massively discussed with my wife....


Today is another day that proves several things to me. (1) I need to be getting more sleep than I am. Hopefully, that can be addressed during my “Self-Care Break.” (2) I don’t mind driving to Am...


There are some things that happen equally in Prosecution and Defense. However, how you respond to them demonstrates perfectly the kind of person you are. For example: losing a case. As a Prosecu...


So, this Monday may be my worst on record! Last night after getting home late-ish from the Work Event, it was off to bed. I slept until about 12:14 a.m. Couldn’t get back to sleep. Went into...


I like how I can write things like my last entry and get responses. Agree, disagree, at least usually the responses aren’t venomous trashy ad hominem illogical bullshit. And I seriously appreci...
