Latest ‘Cancer’ Movie not really about cancer

What a whirlwind weekend pf activity, as Em is feeling good and on her end-of-cycle break from treatment. This means that she was gardening on Thursday, at a Phillies game on Saturday and entertaining friends from out of town on Sunday – whew! I’m tired just talking about all of that. The thing is, the more good stuff she can do, the better it makes her feel.

So now we have enough clips to do a movie out of those three events. No needles, no blue tubes, no purple gloves, no chemo. A cancer movie with no cancer? That’s something new.

Expected to be done shortly. In the meantime, enjoy the Spring!

Frazier settled

OK – that’s nice. I’ll get to catch my breath this weekend. In the meantime, the number is not what I would have hoped for, but that’s the nature of compromise. If I’m learning anything, I want a case to be set up just right in order to take it to trial. What do we have for Sherwood? Looks like that’s next.

Trial Madness

Frazier might be about ready to settle. I know my reluctance is related to the bad outcome from Barsky, but this isn’t the right case on which to take a flyer. This isn’t the right plaintiff. On the other hand, if we have to go, I feel like there is a lot going in our favor. Plus, I’m curious to try a case with Kevin and Litsa – always a lot to learn.

As of now, we’re on for tomorrow. So I’m going to finish my Requested Points For Charge now.

OK – that could have gone better

Barsky trial was a defense verdict, with no viable option for appeal. Ugh. Client is obviously not happy with outcome, but, as disappointed as I am, I’m still glad for the experience of doing a jury trial in NJ. Now I’m ready for anything.

Which is good, because we’re picking a jury in Frazier tomorrow! That’s Philly, but the stakes are a little higher this time. Let’s put on a good show!

Woah, woah, woah!

Lots going on – no time to talk! Barsky trial is beginning thrid and final day tomorrow. We’ll see how things go for my first jury trial in NJ.

The new video is up. Here’s the link. I’ll embed it later and Em can send it around via email, planet cancer, etc.

Phils won today – beat the beloved (sic) Mets 5-3 today. Fantastic!

Ferrari pulled out the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday. Kubica choked on his start and let the Ferrari’s gobble him up. Nice to see Massa turn things around after a few problems in the first two races. Of course, neither he nor Kubica are on the fantasy team. Oh well…

Categories and Pages

They don’t seem to get along. I want all motorsport posts to automatically apperar on the motorsport page. That could happen if the motorsport page was not a ‘Page’. Thins being the way they are now, what I really need is to put the pull down on the main page and that will automatically generate an archive page that has the content I desire. Let’s try that.

Friday is here! Bring on the Battlestar

I’m sitting with Em, watching a pretty good Phillies game and waiting for the season premier of Battlestar. We had some tough times earlier, but some hugs and tears later, and some outstanding Chiwishi, we’re doing OK.

I think there’s not enough room between paragraphs, but that’s an admin issue. There are some updates and things that should be mentioned about ol’ MPomy.com. I’m a little disturbed about the URL and the referral. I would prefer for ‘mpomy.com’ to just take you right to this site, without the word ‘wordpress’ in the title. The problem is that I have to review the installation instructions. When I started with this thing, I didn’t know if this was going to work out. Seems like it is, so far.

I’ve got streaming audio with a nice little playlist. I’d almost like to get the thing to play on it’s own and scramble the selections, but I’m otherwise satisfied with that. Also, there are a lot of stupid decorations just thrown on to the ‘Music‘ page. These are silly, but they make me smile.

An issue I’m interested in is using the ‘categories’ feature to collect posts on different ‘pages’. For example, you should be able to access all the ‘law’ posts on the law page. Same with ‘motorsport’. So if I do a post about MpomyCo Orianna Momentum, that should be attached to the Motorsport page. Right now, of course, there is no Law page and there is currently nothing at the Motorsport page.

Law Blog – Trial Season

There really is no ‘trial season’ per se, but I’ve got a few going now so it’s a bit hectic. About two weeks ago, I wrapped up a little car case where I got negligence but no causation. We had a binding hi-low, so we were protected, but it was a situation where everyone but the client knew we should have settled. When the verdict came in, we were vindicated, but we missed out on a few of several thousand dollars because we let the client have the final say. Technically, that’s requied, but that doesn’t mean it’s always a good idea.

So, it’s Wednesday and I have a trial on Monday – good onliability but bad on causation. This could be an instant replay of what happened a couple weeks ago. There’s not a lot of pressure (as in the previous case), but I still am aching for a win.

There’s a catch-22 at work here becuase I want to be as thorough as possible, but I also want this to be a bit routine, so I get more comfortable with trial prep. Still working on trying to get that balance
