HO HO HUM

 Our Decembers have been the same for nearly 40 years. Calendar seems clear, then judges start rushing to clear matters that have sat for months on their docket and holiday stuffed plate. And suddenly we are busy. Which is why next December will be different. But we currently find ourselves racing from court to court, State to State, handling matters that should have been addressed in July or August, when the judge was on their Carnival Caribbean Cruise (with the all drinks included add-on, naturally). 

So as we trudged to court in Chicago this morning, which is truly freezing, we paused for a moment in a local coffee shop to throw up a post. And never fear, we have a full holiday  series of posts ready to go and entertain next week. 

So until then. Ho Ho Hum... we were not invited, and we would not attend. But if you want some cookies and hot choc, and happen to be in the REGJB, then wander up to the 5th floor of the REGJB (remember to use the escalators unless they are broken. Nothing bothers us more than to get on an REGJB elevator for 7-9 and have people press 1-6. Grrrrr. 😠).

True story- a good friend and colleague was in Tallahassee for an interview to be appointed a DeSantis Drone. And some 30 something MAGA moron interviewing her/him asked the following legal question- the kind of question that would cause the deepest of legal scholar thinkers to think long and hard about the law- the kind of question that clearly is designed to find the very best and brightest amongst us- 

How do you define a man and a woman?

Idiots. 

And if you have ever wondered how some of the people we practice in front of became judges, therein lies your answer. 

Enjoy the cookies and hot choc.  And tell your fav judge we said HI!
