just mad about saffron

Q: next best thing to visiting The Gates in person in Central Park?
A: send your twin brother with a camera and then borrow haiku from George Swede!

tiny check The guys at Legal Ethics Forum have it right: BigLaw partners have
a lot to learn from Generation Y’s values and priorities.  Sure hope the NYC Y’ers got
to see The Gates (more than once).  (see Law.com article)  Maybe Prof. Schiltz’s Sermon
is working.
tiny check A few lines from Dononvan Leitch’s “Mellow Yellow
I’m just mad about Saffron
Saffron’s mad about me
I’m just mad about Saffron
She’s just mad about me

p.s.  Don’t miss Monica Bay’s ode to orange.

  1. What kind of twins are you and your brother? It is kind of frightening that there might be a genetic clone of David G. out there. Two yabuts–yikes!

  3. Be afraid, JR.   Although no one (to my knowledge) has done a DNA work-up to confirm that we are identical twins (we were born in prehistoric times, remember), we have always assumed that we were – e.g., one placenta, impossible to tell us apart the first few years (see our Siblings Page).
    There is one very big difference these days:  Arthur J. Giacalone, Esq., has no website, so the world may not know that he specializes in representing home owners in land use and zoning cases — usually involving development encroaching on their homes — in Western New York.  And, frankly, I’ve never met a harder-working, more-caring, more skilled lawyer.
