The Secretary from our office circulated this one on Friday. I have no idea where she got it from, but thought it was pretty good.———– THE BEST LAWYER STORY SO FAR THIS YEAR – 2007 One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to …
Photo Overload
This bright and chilly morning you would have seen me shivering outside the train station in downtown Lafayette, standing on train tracks next to a busy highway losing all feeling in my toes, or inside — where it was warm — getting more traditional headshots taken. More than 300 shots later, I’m feeling all grinned out. I don’t know how …

Canteen Spirit Lives on…
Thursday I was on the phone with my Mom…not usually a blog worthy event. However, she was telling me about a fundraiser our restaurants had participated in. As I listened, I got chills thinking about how that spirit that permeated during World War Two might not be gone after all. At the end of January a family in North Platte …

Politics with US Attorneys
If you’ve read my blog for long, you’ve probably gathered that I like politics. It wasn’t an automatic when I went to law school that I wouldn’t look for something on Capital Hill. In fact during my clerkship I landed an appointment to the Department of Justice. Then we moved. I passed the FBI background check with flying colors, but …
We Made It!
Sorry for the late post, but I’m still recovering from a long weekend. My six-year-old decided that we had to host a birthday party for her daddy this year. Not just any party, mind you, but a surprise party. I would have run out of steam for all the planning before we got started, but it was the desire of …
Science and Politics
Somewhere someone has said that science and politics shouldn’t mix. Well, this is my blog and I can do pretty much whatever I want. Let the mixing begin… Science: I found this article in our local newspaper about Dr. Francis Collins. He is a geneticist who worked on the human genome project throughout the 90s until DNA was mapped in …
God’s Ways aren’t necessarily ours.
Do you ever go through periods in your life when things just don’t go like you’d expected or hoped? Many of you are probably saying, “Of course!” I’ve always thought of the Christian walk as a series of hills and valleys. Some days I stand on a mountaintop, so near to the heart of God I can feel His presence …
Review: So Dark the Night
Margaret Daley’s So Dark the Night was an enjoyable read filled with all the elements I’ve come to expect from Love Inspired Suspense. Photographer Emma St. James witnesses the murder of her brother. As she runs from the scene she is shot and then hit be Reverand Colin Fitzpatrick’s vehicle. When she wakes up, she has no memory of what …
