sounds frivolous

back again


the driftwood thrown


with all my strength


 

 

 

 

explaining it,


my life sounds frivolous


holly berries

October sun

warms the bed

where’s that winter robe?

    • Despite the headline Metro Lawyer Lives Up to $625 Hourly Rate (NYL/Conn. Law Trib., Oct. 4, 2004)

      I wonder how Gary I. Cohen has the chutzpah to ask for a “success bonus” after chalking up 300 billable

      hours, that’s $187,000+ at $625 per hour, in a matrimonial case.  Does it matter whether the client signed a contract permitting a Success Bonus?  Should a fiduciary put the client on the spot asking for a tip?




    • Are you naive about PC (computer, not social) risks?   The National Cyber Security Alliance says lots of Americans are.  “Statistics actually show people have a ‘0.0000102% chance of being hit by lightning’ while they have a 70% chance ‘of falling victim to a computer virus, phishing attack, malicious hack attempt’ or other PC security problem.” (via TVC Alert)




p.s. There’s an especially meaty TISK! update today — find out how the search engines treated us when asked about pit bull bites, defamation weblogs, tacky weblogs, ghosts who bite, alternative billing and much more.
