Staff Appreciation Week

This week, I found out today, is staff appreciation week. I was delighted by a trip out to lunch and a gift of wine by my esteemed patron and boss. Office luncheons always bring out the best in the attorneys, particularly when stories of childhood memories involving electricity come out. A sample from one attorney: My aunt used to iron and, especially on hot days, would stand in a large bowl of cold water while doing it. Once, -- I was about six -- I found a long wire in my apartment, and decided to try to stick it in the light fixture in our bathroom. The whole floor lost power.

Anyway, electro-therapy aside, make sure you appreciate whatever staff you can tomorrow. And if you're not appreciated, I say walk. You don't need 'em.

No love

Curtesy of Bob, the sad truth about our fair cultured city.

The most interesting part to me, is the fact that every single child stopped to listen. Gives whole new meaning to the innocence of youth.
