Yup, Vishnu on a rotisserie - long darn day.
Rode halfway across the state for a mediation. Absolute bust, 4 parties, all with aggressive lawyers, didn't come anywhere near to settling.
JC was there as co-counsel, and that was very nice. We staffed the case tonight after the dinner. Makes the trip worthwhile.
Rode over with another lawyer who was just a voice on the phone to me, and after 6 hours in the car, she became my new friend. Makes the trip worthwhile.
The bar dinner with the Governor this evening was a triumph for Amy. The "remembrance" was my redundant copy of Daughter of the Elm, by Granville Davisson Hall, an obscure turn-of-the-century (the 20th century) historical novel.
Very disturbed by heavy noise from my former partner. I still feel quite attached to her, but the feeling obviously isn't mutual. That's a very sad thing. Zero closure. And I can honestly say that no one has ever heard me say a nasty or disrespectful word about her, and nobody ever will.
Oh, and I'm getting the flu. The flu shot I got this week obviously worked.
Mizpah, but I wouldn't advise you to kiss me in the meantime.

When you talk about partners, I neve know if you mean ex lovers or work colleagues. Maybe we need a brief history of Elu, so that I know which is which :o)
Darling Roger,
I'm so sorry about your former partner ... I remember her well. I so know how painful not being "unhooked" is like. sigh.
Flu or no flu ... *besos, Sarai
I just want to say I lvove the title to this entry. It makes me chuckle.
Dearest Roger, I could never understand how attorneys got such a vile shadowing. All the lawyers and judges I've known both professionally and personally have been of decent heart and charitable spirit. I missed you in shelf unos, Roger, and am so very glad to find you here in shelf deux. Thank you so much for sending me this book; especially as I admire Toobin. I'd picked it up at the post office yesterday on my way into Hilo. The thought of it waiting for me had me dancing in line at the market, dancing while I pumped my gas, and rockin' in my car while driving all the way home. Te mundo un besos, Sarai
