that so ...I don't know what's sadder......<br /><br />that so many SOB's were so disrespectful during the Piniero or Wenzel memorials........or that so many of you seem to think that the lousy acoustics, meals (or lack of a meal), cost, Miami culture or anything else excuses the boorishness.<br /><br />What happened at the dinner was an embarassment to all. And a perfect example of why people hate lawyers. There are NO excuses. Period.<br /><br />The same boorishness that plagued the dinner also plagues this blog. There are a minority (yes, even at the dinner, the problem was created by a minority) of folks who carry far more anger than pride and take it out everyone they can. The only way things will change is if we all work to overcome their incivility. It's really that simple. <br /><br />Rob, Greg and our community deserve better.<br /><br />BTDT<br /><br />PS----I know at least one of you will comment that I'm self-righteous and that's fine. The fact is that 10 years ago I was as nasty or nastier than anyone I can think of to opposing counsel and those who I felt slighted me. Then I realized the problem was me, not them. I couldn't control what they did, but I could control my reaction. When I learned to channel my energy differently and settled down, I became a far happier person and more successful lawyer.

The venue is not designed for it. But rather than tell late comers (many of which were younger APDs who were sponsored at a rate lower than cost) that there was no room for them, the organizers made a point to ensure they could attend to support the award winners. There was a lot of talking by EVERYONE and the placed looked like a U2 concert with that many people.

They barely shut up for the moment of silent requested by the monsignor. They didn't keep their yaps shut when Rob Pinero was memorialized. You were there. You heard the din that never stopped. I have to believe that if the Governor or President was there and they felt that their boorish behavior would hurt their career that they would have been as silent as a church mouse. <br /><br />I'm quitting.

Was a big wig under Hubbart in the PDs office from the beginning and a hell of a golfer. I think he qualified as an amateur for the US open circa 69-71 and in the final round lasered a 4 iron on a two hundred yard second shot to within 18 inches of the hole on a big par 5 to take the lead at the turn on the 10h hole. Nicklaus said it was the singular best golf shot he'd ever seen. But big jim faltered on the back 7 or so and ended up tied for 8th. But for that one brief moment the Dade Pds was in the national spotlight and I remember a bunch of us in a local Miami Beach bar going nuts when we saw the shot and he eagled the hole for a leadold old pdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-64038512692801041142011-05-15T17:22:23.477-04:002011-05-15T17:22:23.477-04:00ALL YOU FOOLS- FOLLOW THE MONEY!
