A Pearl of a Comic
Seventy Percent of lawyers don’t want to be lawyers. I’m sure I’m underestimating. There’s something about being a lawyer that makes you long to be doing something else. In my experience, that “something” usually is other lawyers. Your humble servant, for instance, has been toiling in the vineyards of the law for lo, these forty…
Waiting for Word
There’s a scene in the movie Elizabeth where we see the young princess standing in a large courtyard where she’s being held captive. A lone horseman gallops toward her and she thinks he’s coming to tell her that she’s going to be sent to the Tower of London. Instead, he jumps off his horse and…

Probable Cause?
I was watching Rizzolli and Isles on Netflix last week. It’s a very good show, good characters, good plots, well-written. Set in Boston. It aired in the 2010’s.

A Stretch
So when you get older your muscles and tendons just want to sit on the couch and eat popcorn and watch Netflix. Really, there’s lots of good stuff on Netflix these days. When you are young, of course, you worry about your body. You want to look muscular, svelte, sexy. There’s that whole dating thing…
