So as one of my faithful readers pointed out, I haven’t blogged for a while.  True.  Should be back to producing the full spectrum of useless blather you’ve come to know and love.  Meanwhile, a brief account of some of the many interesting things that have been keeping me from the blog:

• Getting my hair cut to look like my idol*

• Filing a motion for sanctions against my opposing counsel that — although it required extensive circumlocution where a single word would have sufficed — did not use the word “clusterfuck.”**

• Rollerblading with Saguaro — which I’m really enjoying.  It’s like ice skating without the numb feet or annoying, um, ice skaters.

• Getting a great decision in one of our cases.

• Celebrating with the team at The Pioneer after getting our great decision

• Having the brilliant idea that rollerblading to The Pioneer would avoid the risk of DUI.

• Falling on my ass rollerblading home from The Pioneer while attempting to talk, gesticulate, and roll simultaneously.

• Smiling graciously while Tim laughed his ass off at this excellent example of Guy Humor.

• Visiting my brother’s family at their place in Maine.

• Being chauffeured around Santa Fe in my brother’s badass rental car.

• Reading my cousin’s awesome blog about the process of commissioning, composing (being composed for?), and staging an opera with his chamber group, The Meridian Arts Ensemble.

• And of course hanging with the dogs.

** I did use the word “unrepentant.”  Accurately.
