Ignore If Not Lawyer On Account of Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
I just finished doing my monthly billing chores 1 WHOLE DAY early.  Usually I am 2-3 days late, after having been admonished by my co-workers.  This never happens!   PROGRESS wrt my responsibility level??  Nope, not really. I am just avoiding this Madoff research.  But I’m pumped anyway!

How To Date Me
Write me emails like this: If you want to stay in, perhaps we could finally watch Rushmore; alternatively, if you want to go out, we could go see Moonrise Kingdom. All roads lead to Wes Anderson? I had suggested that we sit around the radio and listen to NPR while we darn our socks, but, hey, maybe his suggestions are OK too.

Bill Murray Is A Goddamned American Treasure.
Interviewer: How many kids do you have?
Bill Motherfucking Murray: Six. All sons.
Interviewer: That's a lot of emergency-room visits.
BMM: There's only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing. Sometimes you can avoid a traffic violation. But the only time it really matters is in the emergency room with your kids. That's when you want to be noticed, because it's very easy to get forgotten in an ER. It's the only time when I would ever say, "Thank God. Thank God." There's no other time.
(The whole interview is dynamite. Such a thoughtful, intelligent guy. Read it because it's the Friday before Memorial Day, and you know you're not working anyway, dangit.)

Observation
This rainy weather in New York would be perfect for throwing on some Stevie Nicks and dancing around with your cats in a robe. Hypothetically.

A Review of Heathrow's American Airlines Admirals...
Upon arriving at this wan sea of club chairs in slightly less than 50 shades of grey, I had to wikipedia exactly what position an “Admiral” has in the naval heirarchy.  Because—based on my observation of the wilted mini sandwiches, desultory slices of cucumber strewn about and indifferent upkeep—my assumption was that navy Admirals are occupied at sea primarily by washing...

Get over yourself, First Circuit.
This appeal presents a smorgasbord of legal issues, but we must forgo the temptation to sample them all. Instead, we masticate only those issues that are necessary to a principled resolution of the matter. In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 274 F.3d 563, 570 (1st Cir. 2001)(demonstrating, inadvertently, that judges who try to be witty often end up publishing embarrassing decisions). Real Lawyer...

Advice for Dating
If you’re going to ask your lady/man friend to hang out on the same day that you’re texting/emailing (Don’t call, ever.), please do it before lunch.   Otherwise someone may have already taken the liberty of eating 3 large tacos and a cup of guacamole with a bag of chips.  And now he/she hypothetically feels a little bad about the food baby she’s gestating.  Give a lady...
