Practice Management

I do not know, maybe Peter Walsh is on to something with his new book, Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?

Well, does it?

Peter Walsh is the organizational mastermind behind Peter Walsh Design, and he says that if you clean up the clutter in your home, your office (your home office), then you will trim down.  He claims that there is a a definite connection between the clutter in your house and the clutter on your hips.  He says that clutter and weight can be symptoms of an unresolved, underlying issue in your life. "Eating more and buying more is an attempt to fill the need for something more," he says. "Until you get those underlying issues dealt with, all the rest is a waste of time."

After all, a lot of attorneys have fat asses, and a lot of attorneys have a lot of clutter in their homes and offices.  The problem is that I have a big butt, I am overweight, but I do not have that much clutter either in my home, my office or, as the case is, my home office.  Sure I probably have a few more pieces of paper in which I scratch down some things until I get it on the computer, but I have disproportional more ass than I have paper or any other type of clutter.

One defense I have, however, is that I do have four children, and you know what having four children can do to a guy's body.

Do not get me wrong.  I think clutter is a bad thing.  I also do not like my big butt.  I think we should try hard to control both.  I am just not sure there is the connection suggested.

One of my favorite big butt stories involves a debtor's attorney pleading with the chapter 13 trustee's at bankruptcy court to not move to dismiss his clients case for non-payment of trustee payments.  The attorney was just an ol' country boy like me, and the Texas pronunciation of things does not help.  The trustee stated, "Your client is trying to appeal to my largess [lahr-jes] to keep me from dismissing his case."  The attorney responded,  "I don't care about your large ass, my client just needs some additional time catch up on his payments".

Should you want more big butt entertainment, I give you the video my daughter produced about sumo wrestlers while in Japan, below.
