The internet can be a wonderful place but it can also be a scary place. There are reputable businesses on the ‘net but just as many scams. It’s the former I’m thankful for and the latter I wish to eradicate with a nuclear bomb.
I bring this up because today, I received an overdraft notice on [...]

Hurricane Irene ravaged Connecticut on Sunday, leaving something like 700,000 customers without power. I was 2 of them. Yes, 2. No power at home and no power at my law office. I hate it when there’s no power. [Whine, whine.]
The landlord told me this morning that the folks at the power company estimated that our [...]

As you can well imagine, I’ve been taking a lot of good-natured ribbing since the weather folks began warning us all about the impending hurricane that bears my name. Hurricane Irene is supposed to be a witch of a storm.
My mom once told me that after I’d had a particularly infuriating fight with my ex [...]

My days are typically hectic and stressful. I’m a lawyer, after all. It comes with the territory. Most days, I take it all in stride. Then there are days like today. Days that go down in the books as “bad days” …
You know you’re having a bad day when you haven’t slept well the night [...]

I was in my office this afternoon, sitting in my comfy chair in front of the computer. The chair is one of those black leather “executive” chairs that rocks, swivels and can even roll across the room. I’m easily amused. I love my chair.
I was deep in thought (which is scary all on its own) [...]

In an age where technology means that a law office regularly uses e-mails and faxes, one would think that the closing of post offices in Connecticut wouldn’t trouble me. It does. Tremendously.
Unfortunately, not everything can be done via e-mail or fax. As conservator, I receive zillions of bills every year that I must pay on [...]

I practice law for a living. Sometimes it’s difficult, other times it’s frustrating … but mostly, it’s fun. We have a rule in the office that once the day’s tirade is over, we have to sit back and laugh out loud. It’s a way to key it down a bit and let go of the [...]

Mondays in my office are usually insanely busy. They are downright crazy. Mondays follow weekends. We are closed on weekends. I guess that’s why there are always so many voice mails and e-mails waiting for Mondays to arrive. ( I did the math). I don’t particularly care for Mondays.
I’m not complaining, I’m just mentioning that [...]

It hardly seems possible that I began posting here in this space two whole years ago! I still recall the thrill of celebrating the first anniversary of this blog. Time really does fly when you’re having fun.
This past year has been filled with change, growth and challenge. One of the most important events for [...]

Last Tuesday, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a measure that will require adults applying for welfare benefits (specifically Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF) to undergo drug testing. The applicant is responsible for the cost of the test but will be reimbursed through benefits if they qualify. Those who do not qualify will be [...]
