Or at least, some lawyers. As I write this on December 30, I see a full parking lot at the Regional Justice Center, as well as cars parked on the street. The various law offices scattered nearby have lights on until the wee hours. Everyone is trying to finish their work before year’s end. That’s […]

Not as much to recommend in July, primarily because I didn’t like what I read enough to recommend it. So one novel and a nonfiction book, as well as some articles. In case you’re wondering why this post is for July, I got behind on posting my lists and I’m catching up. (If you want […]
