Lucy

In memorium.

My sister and her boyfriend lost their dog, Lucy, last Friday night. She was hit by a car and died soon thereafter.

May she romp and play and eat lots of yummy things in doggy heaven.

Slapdash Soup

Slapdash: adj.: haphazard; slipshod.

Slapdash Soup: n.: the dinner I make where I throw whatever random food I have left over, canned, or about to go bad into a pot and make it into soup.

Tonight we're having strips of steak with a can each of split pea soup, green beans, and picnic pinto beans, tossed in with carrots, snap peas, celery, and brussel sprouts, and flavored with garlic salt, black pepper, salt, parsley, basil, dried garlic, dried onions, and most of a bottle of black & tan beer.

I'll let you know if it's any good. :)

Changes

After working here 1 year, 1 month and 24 days and after appearing at 123 court hearings in 42 counties, I am now managing attorney for the North Carolina branch of Eric M. Berman, P.C. Needless to say (but I'm saying it anyway so what does that phrase really mean?), I am very busy.

Life is beautiful, even though it is very cold outside today. Bluster bluster.
