I got a call from the Girl Detective while I was in court today. Since we don't work together anymore I rarely get calls from her during work hours. We usually chat on the weekends or at night after both of us are home. When it's bad news she always leaves a curt "hey, call me back" so I knew before I returned the call to steel myself.

The months pass by so quickly now and I had no idea I'd been away so long until a friend emailed to make sure all was well because I hadn't written here since last fall.

I was out at the immigration detention center (that's the nice word for it--it's a prison) with a client on Thursday and didn't get home ( Read more... )

DAY TWENTY-ONE: your favorite television program

It's hard to pick a favorite show in this age of on-demand-everything-you-want, so I will go with what we are watching right now, in fits and starts. Love/Hate is the latest Netflix fare. It's pretty dark and depressing, but I'm a sucker for crime stories.

DAY NINETEEN: whatever tickles your fancy

I haven't posted much about two things this summer that have made me very happy. New tattoos and a new dog named Leo. He's the cutest! The tattoos are by the amazing Stacey Martin, part of an arm that is all about time and clocks. :-)
