Harrumph.
I had a bunch of little stuff in court this morning, and again this afternoon. But anyway, better late to "harrumph" than never to "harrumph" at all.

Good morning! Family vacation starts today, we're headed to Durham for Meet the Blue Devils, followed by Augusta GA for a couple nights and then Myrtle Beach for three days.

Thank you for all of the trial vibes yesterday. I inhabited that case! I immersed myself in the facts of the case, I mastered the minutiae of the case law, and I fine-tuned my closing argument by pointing out a credibility problem (a time-space continuum thing which I refuted with documentary evidence from my investigator (aka a "bald-faced lie")). At the time, I even amazed myself with that flash of brilliance! My client, my investigators, my witnesses and the opposing attorney all thought that I kicked some major butt.
Ultimately, none of their opinions matter. The judge is going to issue his ruling next week.
So, I'm still worried. So, could everyone please point their vibrators in the direction of Judge GGB? Thanks!
Good morning!

Good morning!
When you have the facts, pound the facts. When you have the law, pound the law. When you have neither, pound the table.
Vibes for the one in the black dress to rule for you, CathyCA!

I heard it as when the facts are with you call on the facts, when the law is with you call on the law, if neither is with you call the other guy names.

Good morning from Michigan! Looking out at the channel watching boats move between Lakes Muskegon and Michigan. Even better was arriving to hugs from from nieces and nephews from 2 generations? I love my family!
Vibes for CathyCA's judge.
Life is good!
