Snow Job

This weekend, people seem determined to join the ranks of the unemployed. Yesterday, it was the IT guy at Target. Today, I read in the local paper that two local attorneys, married and both employed in local government, were arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession. I actually remember one of the attorneys from my time as a law clerk. I remember thinking that he seemed like a fair-minded, decent guy. And no, I’m not implying that he’s not decent and fair-minded simply because he may have done some coke. But if I was him, I’d be more than a little nervous at the prospect of joining some of the people I’ve put in prison in their current place of residence. Actually, they probably won’t do jail time, but their attorney’s licenses might be in jeopardy.
I’m pissed at myself for falling behind on the book. Since I caught this cold (which is nearly gone), I haven’t had much energy for writing. With the coming 3-day workweek, I’m hoping I can find some kind of rhythm again.
