ADVERTISEMENTS

So, it begins! This is the blessed stuff that keeps all the people in California and other similar hell-holes from moving here. Oh God, it is below 80! And other such nonsense. God, I love this weather. I am a cold blooded person and the cold makes me literally giddy. Unfortunately, most of the snow melted today. But it will be back. The cold and the dark are coming. And I love it. Time to hunker down and enjoy hot foods. A fire. A good movie. Whiskey and coke. Time with my little girl. My trial in Homer ended in a mistrial. As a defense lawyer, my favorite word (after "not" guilty, of course) is "mistrial". If I have to try it again, I will do a better job as I know the State's case. I wish I had taken my camera to Homer. If you ever go to Homer you should check out the Lands End Resort (http://lands-end-resort.com/). The view was a amazing and after work I would sit on the deck with a drink and watch humpback whales. The view reminded me of why we are here. I have seen 1/1,000,000,000 of Alaska but everytime I see something new it blows my minds. One of my big regrets in life is all the time I wasted in other places. Tonight is my regular poker night and a bunch of local defense lawyers come over to drink my booze and lose their money to me. I have come a long way since that first time Jeremy gave me $100 in Vegas and everyone at the table thought I was going to have a coronary every time $2 was at stake. I still haven't made the kinds of friends that I have left behind but nights when I am sitting at the poker table things seem ok.
