September made the long hours of August worth the toil. On Labor Day, we flew first class to Munich–the first time we’ve been able to fly east across the Atlantic and actually lie down + sleep. I loved Bolzano, Italy, the town that can’t decide if it’s Austrian or Italian, […]
August was one of the hardest months I’ve ever had professionally, with more cases than I’ve ever handled and with less help than I’ve ever had (and less revenue to hire the needed help). That said, my sweet bride paid for me to drive on Atlanta Motor Speedway in the […]
July started with camping out on our land by the Little Tallapoosa River in Alabama for the holiday weekend, including time on Lake Wedowee. A few days later, we picked up our son from camp and went out on Lake Lanier with friends before driving up to Nashville for a […]
We left Memorial Day weekend on a direct flight to Athens. We attended an AirBnB “experience” during which a man in a toga taught us that the penalty for adultery in ancient Greece was “radishes in the ass.” We learned more than that about the ancient Greeks, but that’s what […]
I took my 30th trip to New Orleans in May for a few days of legal conference. My son got a “cadet of the year” award via his Civil Air Patrol squadron that the local VFW presented him, and I liked the guys who presented it so much that I […]
Of the trips to 30 countries, 50 states, and 43 U.S. national parks I’ve taken, the trip we took in April with Bob Goff in Israel is likely my favorite. We started in Galilee, explored the Golan Heights, sailed the Sea of Galilee, walked in Capernaum, picnicked at Mount of […]
In March, I saw some live music, a live William Shatner, volunteered to chaperone my 2 middle schoolers’ field trip to Nashville, and my wife and I went to Key West for a weekend work conference, and all were very enjoyable! Here are March 2023’s 31 seconds:
February is always among my favorite months of the year, as I attend my annual Mardi Gras legal conference and, back in the day, the Dad 2.0 conference, along with an occasional ski trip and/or AAJ conference (last year I had 4 trips in February!). This year was similar–my bride […]
During the first month of the new year, I did some group rides with my Harley Owners Group, I argued with some defense lawyers, and we rucked or mountain biked in the nearby woods. I saw my favorite dental hygienist again. I went up to the Hike Inn with L2L […]
In December, we got to see Phil again when he came to Atlanta for a book signing and Q&A. We had several holiday parties (but fewer than we did before Covid), took an impromptu trip to Miami Beach for a new attorney friend’s 10-year anniversary as a firm, and I […]
