Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Schneeberg<\/p><\/div>\n

The world is turning rapidly under our feet. \u00a0This can not be avoided, but it need not always be celebrated.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday we attended the successful settlement on our first home. \u00a0It is a bittersweet moment because it means leaving the city limits of this glorious and frustrating town. \u00a0I wish I had the money to be a stylish, bohemian intellectual with a beautiful row home in a safe neighborhood, but it ain’t gonna happen. \u00a0not now, anyway. \u00a0I’m taking my liberal politics and my strange music to the ‘burbs.<\/p>\n

In the midst of preparing for closing, I left a pair of work projects for the weekend. \u00a0this meant several hours at the office on Sunday, when I should have been home packing for our move 0 which is just a few short weeks away. \u00a0One thing I was not working on was a trial that has been listed several times, but for one reason or another, has never gone forward. \u00a0My clients grow weary of the hurry-up-and-wait approach that the Courts insist on. \u00a0Because the matter had been listed so many times, I am ready. \u00a0I just have to drag all my files and tech (computer, project and screen for power-point presentation and video testimony to show the jury) to Court and I’m ready.<\/p>\n

So our latest listing for this trial was yesterday, and, low and behold, the Judge was actually ready for us. \u00a0He dismissed us for the morning and advised us to come back after lunch to pick a jury.<\/p>\n

As I pulled into the parking lot after getting my gear and a quick snack, I check email and learned that Arthur Schneeberg had died<\/a>. \u00a0Arthur was my Mom’s first cousin and a man I had admired my whole life. \u00a0He was a gifted physician and a loving family member. \u00a0He was the most unassuming man, completely unpretentious. \u00a0Yet his level of scholarship about his work and religion always inspired me. \u00a0I am proud to be a part of his family.<\/p>\n

So, instead of finally putting on my trial, the case goes back into the “waiting to re-list” category and today I take my Mom to a funeral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
