Saturday Potpourri

By Theresa Petrey, Esq.

Ok, I'm smitten by this wedding video.

What's not to love, especially the gerberas and sunglasses. I'm even now a Chris Brown fan, in spite of his domestic violence charge. Obviously and coincidentally, he posted a video apology on his website just after the couple posted their video. I'm hoping for a "remix" video with the JK wedding entrance dance and Chris Brown.

Next, my "little" brother-in-law became a financial pundit this week in the Petrey family ancestral burg's paper the Daily Midway Driller. Read his column here. Dan had previously been a broker with one of the big brokerages but broke off to start his own firm with a friend, Mestmaker and Petrey Wealth Advisors. Dan also got some nice press in Bakersfield with a business section article about their "leap of faith."

I was reflecting on last night's picnic and have concluded that in our media and entertainment age, the social grace of relaxing communally in the park with friends, neighbors and family is becoming a lost art. It is about just sitting in that folding chair, watching the kids play, talking to the old folks and meeting a good friend's second cousin twice removed. I resolve to picnic in the park more.

I've been reading the book The Four Hour Workweek, not because I want to work four hours a week (that's patently absurd for any solo attorney with overhead i.e office and staff), but because I want to have four more really effective hours a week. It has helped me to rethink a few things and to focus a little more. And, it's a fun book to read.

There's rarely a dull moment in a small town law practice and my current "diversion of the waters" case is beginning to heat up. I'm learning everything I always wanted to know about hydrology and then some.
