A Moment of Satisfaction
One of my advisees found out this afternoon that she’s had a paper accepted at Kalamazoo — a top conference in our field, and my personal favorite. Congratulations, Ms. O — I’m proud of you. Unfortunately, the trial schedule and … Continue reading

Late for the Hooded Figures
For several weeks, the Spawn has been hectoring encouraging me to check out a podcasted “radio show” called Welcome to Night Vale. Last night I decided to celebrate my birthday by snuggling up with her and listening to the first three … Continue reading
Birthday Eve
I got back to Spackle Manor about an hour ago, which means I’ll turn four dozen in my own bed just before 5 tomorrow morning. I’m tired, sad, as contented as I could be with a situation with no possible … Continue reading

Distances
Mrs. M phoned me about 15 minutes ago as I sat in my “office” here at the justice center. “Did you know your brother is on the stand?” “He is?” “Yeah, the media is reporting it.” I checked, and read the … Continue reading
Oh, Nothing Much…
Mrs. M testified yesterday, as did my brother’s third ex-wife and most recent ex-girlfriend. The defense started to present their case today, but we’re told we could get to closing statements as soon as Monday afternoon, and the judge still … Continue reading

Testified Today
