The announcement on Friday was sudden, unexpected for many, but not, we hear, indicative of any underlying problems thank goodness. Judge Diane Ward, after a long career as a PD, private attorney, and Judge who beat Alan Postman for her spot on the bench, retired, for-we hear- a spot in an arbitration/mediation firm.
(You know what DOM famously says: "You can't win a mediation").
Judge Ward was an asset to the bench, especially in these days where only prosecutors get appointments. She knew what defense attorneys were facing, especially sole practitioners, and that made our jobs just a bit easier. We are sorry to see her go.
LIFE HAS CHANGED
Sometimes there is no going back. This is big.
An inexorable change of earth-shaking proportions. All that we know shall never be the same.
It is "total protonic reversal"??
What's that you say?
We refer you to one of our favourite go-to's for knowledge and information: Ghostbusters:
Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Hold on to everything you hold dear, because dear readers this:
Changes everything.
Mayonnaise and Ketchup in the same bottle.
Total gastronomic protonic reversal.
We're still shaking.
