I hope all my weblog visitors and friends have a joyful holiday and safe,
pleasant trips to your destinations. Because I won’t be getting to my
hometown, Rochester, NY, for Thanksgiving, I’m going to bring a bit
of Rochester to you and f/k/a, with an encore of some of my very favorite
pickup truck
an old retriever
laps the wind
fallen leaves
the child in her
gives a kick
autumn light
I lower the window
cover my child’s feet
November
yesterday’s puddle
brittle under my boot
Gettysburg
traffic backed up
to the interstate
the shower massage
finds her navel -
Buddha smile
she washes
his bellybutton -
innie peace

I may not like the Law.com Blog Network ads, but I am enjoying the roundup of Network
postings in Lisa Stone’s Legal Blog Watch. The Networkians all have goodies worth reading
today.
Lots of others who are bigger sports fans than I have covered the Pistons courtside riot that
occurred last Friday. [e.g., Juan non-V] Almost as bad as the behavior of the players and the fans
was the statement by the Pistons’ Coach after the game, in which he said that lots of people had “made mistakes.” “Mistakes happen” in math and underwear. Grown men choosing to misbehave is not a
not a mistake; it is very often a crime or a tort.

Welcome to the weblawg community, Monica Bay and The Common Scold! I’m looking forward to
your curmudgeonly take on legal technology and management issues (and the Yankees). However, I clicked right over, when I saw Bob Ambrogi’s pointer to your weblog — only to be assaulted visually
and aesthetically by that [expletive deleted] Flipping Rolodex, whose sponsor I have not yet discerned.
Will one of Law.com’s visitors have to go into epileptic fits before that darn ad is cancelled? (see our prior post) That being said, best wishes, Monica.
the gossip
her yard fills
with leaves
COMMON SCOLD - Obs. A woman who, in consequence of her boisterous,
disorderly and quarrelsome tongue, is a public nuisance to the neighborhood.
Such a woman may be indicted, and on conviction, punished. At common law,
the punishment was by being placed in a certain engine of correction called the
trebucket or cocking stool.
This punishment was abolished in Pennsylvania where the offence is now punished
by fine and imprisonment.
Would it be too cruel to subject a Scold to that Rolodex?
update (5 PM): Monica has emailed me to say the offending Rolodex ad (which is by SBC) does
not appear when she goes to her webpage and she’s never seen the ad (which has been all over
Law.com sites for quite awhile). Every time I click on Monica’s weblog, I get flipped. Life is unfair.
