Academic

: the 13th juror

Just another day in paradise

A day that called for a stop on the way home for a bottle of wine:

9:30 a.m. A call from a client I haven?t talked to in several months. He was riding his bicycle the other day and got hit by an AT&T van. He wants help with a claim for -- at least -- a new bike.

10 a.m. Mediation in a workplace discrimination case.

noon Meeting I can?t talk about here. You?ll just have to trust me when I say it was important.

2 p.m. Conference call with national homeless advocates about a new project, the Faces of Homelessness Speakers? Bureau in Central Florida.

3 p.m. Conference call with local homeless advocates about a reported homeless camp that the county?s code enforcement bureau may be cracking down on. Turns out it?s not really a camp, but just a drinking spot. Scheduled an outreach visit for tomorrow.

5 p.m. Headed for Lake Eola Park for the food-sharing. Forgot my backpack with client files and had to go home and start over again.

5:30 p.m. Consultations with half a dozen clients with varied problems.

7 p.m. Food Not Bombs meeting. Presented updates on several legal matters and answered questions for half an hour or so.

8 p.m. Bought a cold bottle of Australian white.
