HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE finally arrived today as well, but as it's a long movie (I saw it twice at the theater), I will wait until tomorrow to watch it.
DR Matt H, I love Harvey's music a lot, and adore him as a person. I'm so flattered to be on his Christmas card and "special" list, which includes things like his "forty fingers of Harvey Schmidt" CD, which Kritzerland released. Don't you thnk it's a lot of fun?
I I'm assuming that DR Matt and others on the site have purchased it and are enjoying it. It's a lot of fun.
Cillaliz -- I used to say: I have to be in court in an hour. (I was a court reporter.)Your jail comment is much better.
I always liked "Many of our attorneys work out of our Long Island office when they're not on trial."I know what they really mean, but it always struck me as whimsical.
Were you a court reporter in Phoenix? I was a Maricopa County Public Defender from '86-'92 so I was in Superior Court every day and Justice Court at least once a week. I also was a law clerk for Judge (now Justice) Martone
Yes. I mostly did traffic and prelims and depositions and bankruptcy.
I see that TomovOz has become immersed in his new day.Hello, Tommy!Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
Really? Where did you do prelims? I was in the East Valley mostly, Northeast, Tempe and occasionally one of the Mesa courts.
I did the northwest valley, mostly, (when they were farm towns), and Scottsdale, occasionally (I subbed for Maxine).
Oh, and I helped the reporter in Superior Court on Evan Mecham's criminal trial by transcribing her computer notes (back when computers were fairly new in the biz).
Of course, he was acquitted, so the transcript wasn't needed, so we didn't get paid for the work. Did you know he never finished a sentence, and his answers went on for PAGES without ever answering the question.
It was the criminal trial I was at with Judge Ryan.
I liked Judge Ryan. I was assigned to his courtrrom for awhile.
