I’ve received some funny pictures like this one, to put in the blog. I just couldn’t figure out how to write a blog and include this for illustration. So, today, I am just making the pictures the blog.
When you’re not reading the blog… we are feeling sadness. (how is that for a tie in?)
You know the old expression that there is “no I in team”. Well, maybe there’s no sadness in team either. I’ve had a few people tell me that they have started to read the blog again… and I’m glad that you’re back!!!

A lawyer once told me that the practice of law is “like having five baskets, five snakes and four lids”. What he meant was the same as saying that you have to keep all the plates spinning. It feels real “December-year-end” busy right now.
I suspect that you feel the same way as we head toward the end of month countdown. So, at the risk of seeming like this is just like pulling up to the Drive-Thru blog window, that’s kinda the way it is. I thought that I would use this introduction as an excuse to just post a picture that I posted last year at the holidays. Yep, this still makes me laugh.

Some of my blogs are just different from the others and this qualifies as personally different. By coincidence, my 1000th blog also happens to fall on my birthday.
I’d like to pretend to be three chess moves ahead in having that line-up of events. Of course, I guess it could also fall on the anniversary of the invention of the Internet. Not quite that planned.
I remember deciding that I wanted to start blogging. My first few attempts were solely related to law and they were so boring. I think that the first several were normally read by a crowd of 2-3 people on a daily basis. Now, there must be at least 4 or 5! Plus, pic o’ day added a few. Some have even admitted to scanning through the blogging just to see pic o’.
In the coming days, we will post some blogs of the past. I hope that you enjoy those, even if you remember them. Maybe we will add new pictures. Thanks for sticking with me. Hopefully, my blog experience will make the next 1000 full of useful tidbits.
For me, I thought I would celebrate this blog by posting some pictures that were sent by Amy M. All three make me laugh. So, I guess these are pics o’s!
First is a dog’s heaven:
Next is “Thinking Cat”:
And finally, the Pizza Delivery Pup:

Our blog platform keeps track of the number of posted blogs. I am now just two short of 1000. I’m not sure what that really means, but we are trying to figure out if we can come up with “The Best of Bieber” for a week or more.
Last week, the Firm marketing group got together for lunch. (4 of us who like lunch) They told me that they would work on putting “The Best of” together. Is it a bad sign that I haven’t received anything?
Anyway, it does make me feel like a winner to be coming up on 1000. That brings me to a “SmartMoney“ article on “Why Lottery Winners Go Bankrupt”. Over 1900 Florida Lottery winners have declared bankruptcy.
The article reports on a study of Florida Lottery winners. The premise of the article is that such winners don’t seem to treat winnings the same way as earned wage money. They call it “mental accounting”. Such money is treated recklessly. When I read that, I’m not so sure that it would take a study to conclude that.
When you get a paycheck, no one says “Hey, what are you going to spend that on, to celebrate?”. Still, I want to recklessly celebrate my 1000 blogs. But how would a blog celebrate? By lots of blog quotes? Here is a start:
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.” ~ Jack Handey
For pic o’ day, I thought I would go with the obvious:

This is the time of year that you put away the decoration’s but you don’t really start thinking about your new years resolutions unless the clothes are feeling a bit tight.
Right after Christmas, sometimes the ride of emotion begins to set in. That or maybe it’s the thought of credit card bills. That’s why some people come out of this holiday in a bit of a mood.
For their sake, it’s probably best not to write some thinking blog.
For everyone else, it’s just nice to be able to relax and hold on to the memories. I hope that’s how you’re feeling.

I did some history research for yesterday’s blog and didn’t get much reaction or comment as usual. At first, I felt like I was Tom Hanks, with no one reading the blog. 
Then, I thought that instead of a blog, I should have focused my efforts like George Constanza, just sitting at the desk. (I hope you can see him playing the file drum. The movement makes me laugh.)
I was reminded that people are extra busy right now and probably don’t have time to read one of my long epistles. So, just thought I’d throw in some pictures today. And, of course, here’s pic o’ day. This one’s for you Mom!

I’ve been hustling, trying to get some year-end cases resolved. For some reason, it seems that insurance companies decide they want to “close the book” on some cases. So, it made me a little short on blogging.
I’ll have to rely on you to send some good comments. I guess it’s too much to ask for comments on nothing to comment about.
Well, at least I have pic o’. Nothing like a boxer dressed as an elf for the holidays.

I’m told that I’m supposed to use blog titles that might have some Internet optimization quality. I don’t think this title will pass muster. But, it does allow me to just insert some legal news and attachments without any organization.
I usually try to give brief descriptions with a comment and give the attachment, in case you want to read more. Some just make it hard to even give a thought. Of course, Dick Cavett said, “It’s a rare person who wants to hear what he doesn’t want to hear”. Maybe that goes for reading a blog too. See, the randomness begins.
First story comes from Connecticut. Police were called when a 911 call was placed to advise that someone was on the playground giving children beer. Two were charged with giving beer to a 4 year-old and beer and cocaine to a 10 month-old child. (Looking away uncomfortably.)
Next from MSNBC. Five people were stabbed during a “Welcome Home From Jail Party”. One woman was also detained for allegedly firing a gun. (Not sure if I should insert something like they played “Pin the tail on the human” or just suggest that the title of the party was a bit prophetic)
PostCity.com announced Toronto’s worst named restaurants. Just a sample: “The Big Chubby Burger”. Of course, I’m probably not one to criticize since I once owned a restaurant named “Glutton’s”. The concept was that all sandwiches were so big that only a Glutton could finish one. I know; with that concept, you’re not surprised that the result was that I must have been a Glutton for punishment. (Just thought I’d throw this story in for some marketing discussion)
Finally, here’s a news story from an “Occupy Portland” event. Police were walking through the event to make sure that the demonstration remained peaceful. One guy seemed to be drunk, so the police decided to speak with him and put him through a test to determine if he should be charged for being drunk in public. He assured them that he wasn’t and went on to show them that he had a mason jar that was filled with bags of marijuana. Yep, that’s quite a defense.
And now, it just seems like we need some organization to get away from such randomness. Here’s pic o’ day:
