I never see the point in gate keeping the number of candies or the age of the trick or treater. If someone needs to take 20 pieces of candy, go crazy. I’m fortunate enough to be able to put out lots. Take what you need.
I did not include that or pictures of end note citations.
Needed a Halloween costume scary to lawyers and judges so I decided to go as footnote citations.
I guess one benefit of them doing construction on the floor above my office is that all the knocking and whining of power tools makes it sound haunted up there this week.
I need a costume to wear to work on Friday that aptly sums up the anxiety and terror of the world at large. But it also must be business casual.
Middle schoolers don’t exactly speak a language. It’s really more of a “bro”-cabulary.
Trying to decide if my Halloween costume should be:

Sans Serif Serif
I feel like there a decent chance that when I stick my hand in this box that appeared in the office kitchen a trap is going snap shut and net will fall down. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained.
No fair weather fans at TCU/Baylor game today. 🌧️
I’ve learned that the firm has installed a pellet ice machine, which I have renamed “Appellate Ice.” That is also the name of my appellate themed snocone stand.
I gave a CLE to the Tarrant Young Lawyers today, which confirmed that I’m not young anymore. But I’m also not old. So I guess I’m officially Mid.

I'm thinking about doing an article/paper about the various issues involved in suspending a judgment on appeal. I can't decide if the better title is:

1. The Name's Bonds. Supersedeas Bonds.

or

2. How to Transform Your OK-sedeas Into a Supersedeas.
I see lots of attorneys say that they specialize in “complex” civil cases. But no one ever claims to be a specialist in “simple” civil cases. Maybe it’s the lawyers who are making the simple complex. 🤔
DFW attorneys—need some CLE? Come see us in Fort Worth on 10/24 to get 4 hours for $20.
I’ve been doing that part for years. The setting of the reminders was progress.
I’ve reached the age where I set reminders on my phone then forget what they mean when they pop up later.

Found a penny this morning. With inflation how far into the day will that luck get me?
Well, the yard Ewoks are back.
Had a kid complain that everyone else was eating the cereal they wanted. Which was the perfect softball for me to ask “So they’re always after your Lucky Charms?”

Opening a new box of powdered detergent is like digging for buried treasure where the treasure is the scoop.

But the real treasure is the clothes we cleaned along the way.
