Racing in the Street

Racing in the Street used to be the subject of song, of freedom.  Now it's a crime.

As I was getting ready for court, for the crime of Racing on Highway, Class B misdemeanor, I was reminded of this Springsteen classic (with inspiration by Martha and the Vandellas).  From Darkness on the Edge of Town.

The good news is that we've got a good defense and that we are hoping for the proverbial slap on the wrist.  Get back on the street!

Back in Action

I've been away from the blog this month so I'm due a post.  Welcome to New Follower Zach R.  That's a 33% increase in 2013!  from 3 to 4.

My Southlandview.blogspot.com movie review site is booming.  I've got over 1,500 page views since I started last August.  Even 2 from Australia.  Next review is likely Zero Dark Thirty or Les Miserables.   Sarah is coming home this weekend so we may not see a movie then.  Plus the Super Bowl is Sunday night.  My prediction is the Ravens + 1.5.  My imaginary $10 on that.

Work has been going well with a few new big cases.  One of them involves a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware as well as a lawsuit locally.  The lawyer from Chicago on the bankruptcy charges $760/hour and he's not the highest paid lawyer on the case.  Different world.

Susan is in Scottsdale AZ this week on business so it's quiet at home.

New Year's Day 2013

Today was a fine day to start the year off to a good start.  A late start actually, not getting up until 8:30.  My plan was to do a 5 mile run for my half marathon training.  Felt so good I did 6 miles.  Came home and made brunch.  I did some shopping in the afternoon and got some snappy new kicks.

I had someone who wanted to  come in the office and he wanted to come in today.  I told him 4:00.  I went there, he did not show.  No surprise really.   But I got some good thinking for 2013 planning done.
