Haines His Way

DR Jane - I decided to remove the picture.  It seemed a bit Unseemly.  

Well, that's no fun -- that's never stopped anyone on this site before...

That's the title of my next novella... The Vantage Point of a Pork Chop...

Glad to see that DR Jose had a smooth flight to Florida.  I hope he's having a blast in the parks!

DR Miss Karen, when does your E&T DR and DS start his new school program...in September?

I think I'll take my walk to the mailbox BEFORE I eat dinner.

Just how far IS your mailbox from your house, DR Jane?

So sorry, DR dB.

Have you tried Immodium?

Judi Connelli

LOVE her!

I'm so glad that you got to see this.  It's so rarely done.

Yesterday Kerry said

Give yourself a break.  A trial is like running a 10 mile marathon, and you need to be good to yourself.  No diets.  No family.  Have a cupcake and meditate.  I have total faith in your abilities, so give 'em hell, and work on the crud afterwards.  I went through this too many times as a paralegal, so I know you have to take care of yourself.  I used to make DR MusicGuy (when we were still together) do the same thing before a concert.  There is enough physical and mental stress that you don't need to put yourself through anymore suffering.  You have nough on your plate right now, dear friend.  Eat well, and get some rest.

Thanks Kerry, Yes, it's a marathon and I accepted having only 2 months to prepare.  It's fine. The trial is all falling into place as they always do when you put in enough time preparing. I've had lots of jury trials over the years, probably at least 40-50 or so. I don't keep track.  I appreciate your advice and am doing exactly that.  
Edith mentioned yesterday that I work well under pressure and that's really true. I need the normal getting ready for trial pressure to really help me focus, the other stuff I have told people in no uncertain terms that I am not talking to them or dealing with that now.  

DR Cillaliz - Give 'em heck!  -And Breathe...  then Breathe again.  

Thanks DR Jose.  I took advantage of the excuse of my painters having to leave both my front and back door open so they could dry to bring a couple boxes of trial stuff home and review some depos but in a comfortable relaxed environment with the girls.

We had a pretrial conference this morning. I still have lots to do, but am really right on track for where I should be right now.

However, I do appreciate the reminders to breathe.  

Hmmmm....."ridiculous?"  

Is he from Iowa? or does he just like wearing the shirt  

I'm cooking pork chops for dinner and Richard and I just watched the movie Vantage Point.

Isn't that exciting?

Actually, since cooking requires standing up, I say that's very exciting

So, I was at the County Courthouse wearing the same shoes I was wearing when I wiped out in the Federal Building during my last trial and ....no I didn't fall, but I stumbled, bumbled and managed to recover without hitting the floor. The biggest problem is that i sort of strained a muscle in the process.   I love those shoes, but am thinking maybe it's time to quit wearing them
