THINGS LEARNED IN LAW SCHOOL
1. All hypotheticals reduce to one question: If I had a brother, would he eat cheese?
2. A lawyer's fortune cookie: "Life is short. Charge more per hour."
3. The bureaucrat's oath: If it moves, regulate it. If it doesn't move, kick it and then regulate it.
HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK
Time is the bully anchor of the opposing tug-rope team.
The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.
-------------------------------------
"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."

What kind of lawyering did you do?
ReplyDeleteThe evil kind, aka management-side litigator in labor and employment-related cases. I split time between courtrooms and isolated client work-sites, in which you easily could be crushed by a giant tire. Much the same thing, I guess, given that trial exhaustion leaves a tread-mark.
