It took a month, but my brother’s prank Hanukah gift finally paid dividends, for him. Thanks to Frank, the gathering at my house last night won’t soon be forgotten by any of the attendees.

My father-in-law drove too far into his garage yesterday and hit the back wall. Luckily, the airbag didn’t trigger and he didn’t get hurt; but both vehicle and wall will need body work. He can’t understand how the device he installed to prevent such a disaster failed so miserably. I can, however; which is why I pray he never solves the mystery.
Continue readingThe prospective client who met with me this morning clearly wasn’t joking. Nonetheless, as interesting as his situation sounded, I didn’t think I could help him. But since I’m no expert in employment law, I said I’d refer him to an expert in the area for further consultation. I’ll do my best, yet I don’t expect anyone – expert or otherwise – to extract a viable case from this man’s circumstances.

But he roams freely throughout our neighborhood, and I have no idea who owns him or where he lives. Because he doesn’t wear an ID tag, I don’t know his proper name.

Once her replacement ATM card arrives, she’ll have completed the restoration of the wallet she lost on Monday and found yesterday.

Continue readingAs I’m sure all present would concede, the four of us witnessed a masterful acting performance last night. Yet one question remains: which were the acted bits? On that issue, certain members of the audience plainly disagree.
Continue readingI took two calls this morning from people looking for a good divorce lawyer. I might’ve handled one of the cases myself but for three impediments. First, I knew both of the callers. Second, the two of them were married to each other. And third, but certainly not least, I happened to be present at the events leading to their requests for legal representation; and I feared I’d have to testify at their trial.
