So, those of you who know me, tell me this isn't my theme song.

So, I can't say it's solved my mood entirely, but the hallway is done. Just waiting for summer......I did the paint. Put in a new (and working) smoke alarm and light fixture. Bill and I did laminate flooring and trim. All in all maybe $250. It's made me like this house about 100 times more. There's...

So, it's time to face it. I'm just not a happy man anymore. It's the oddest thing. It's not just that it's March. There are a number of reasons. Pretty much everyone has noticed it. I got a call from a Probation Officer the other day. Just to ask how I was and to say they were worried about...

So. So. Those of you who know me, know that the last few weeks for me have been incredibly difficult. It's not my intention to talk about all the reasons why. There are a number of reasons. Instead, what I am going to do is write about what I am going to do about it. Quite honestly, I do so more...

So, I'll tell you how I spent my winter. The never ending winter by the way (-8 when I went to work today). I wrote a screenplay. Well, Jeremy and I wrote a screenplay. It is called "The First Airborne" and is a World War One movie. We have written the first draft and are working on the first...

So, March 10. -4 when I went to work today. I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. I'm tired of fighting the cold. I'm tired of being broke and living in a crappy little house. Everyone in the place is sick, and I'm sure that isn't helping my mood much. Never, ever, ever move to Alaska unless...

So, March. Sigh. I love living in Alaska 305 days or so a year. Really. But March and April suck. This should be a Spring month. It was -8 when I went to work today. -8. I know, I know. I've bitched about it before. But it gets harder and harder each year. It doesn't help that it seems like a lot...

So, I predicted that 2011 would be a good year for me and my family. I had a few pending matters in the Superior Court that I felt strongly about. Today the Superior Court ruled as follows "The Court finds that limiting consideration of a child's intent to remain in Alaska solely on the...

So, I have been thinking a lot over the last couple of days about what it means to be a criminal defense lawyer. About what our job is and what it should be. I came across this decription today: "we hold the line against police and government intrusions. Our job is to fight back". Well amen. What...

So, thank God it is a long weekend. I got a phone call today that might change our lives. It's time to seek counsel. So I'm going to Bainbridge Island in Washington to see my buddy Jeremy. That's all I can say.
