Brief in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

I am currently in San Francisco. Yesterday was a flight day of 9 hours. I have been on “Vacation” for almost 2 days… and yet have done 2.4 hours of billable work. Which, on Vacation, means I’ve worked 4.1 hours

Yay vacation, yay work. Probably my favorite thing was Wife dressed nice and started talking about how it made her feel more confident, more beautiful, and allowed her to accept compliments. GOOD you need to stop hating yourself for a few minutes of your life.

Meanwhile, Dad and my brother are in the middle of one of the most liberal cities in America and are using “Democrat” as an insult. Like… I was telling them about how, UNDER TRUMP, ICE is deporting my clients before they have a chance at a hearing… which, while legal, is against the policy of ICE for the last decade. Brother and Dad recognize why that is a huge issue. My clients are charged with criminal charges; they have a constitutional right to face their accuser and fight for their innocence. ICE is holding up a BIG middle finger saying “Get the fuck out because Trump said so.” And yet, Dad’s reaction? ”Fucking democrats. That just shouldn’t happen.” Really?! When the Republicans control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and Presidency… you want to blame Democrats for the government’s fuck ups? BAH. GAH. So… I just have to remember… my Dad is a representative of Tiny Town. It doesn’t matter what the truth is, if his emotions are stronger- that is the only truth he needs. BAH. THE REASON America is so fucked up right now.

But… yeah. I’m in San Fran. For a wedding. And still working. That’s what I’m doing.
