William Golding Opens A Private High School.

Hey Kid! Wanna Be A Lawyer? Ask Goat What It Feels Like.

Memento Mori.

Hey, you! You're going to die. Get over it. Have some fun.

Has The Move To The Internet Caused Newspapers To Have Fewer Editing Jobs?

One of three things is true. The editor for this newspaper had a bad day. Or, the copy editor's job was terminated due to a reduction in ad sales. Or, journalism schools are fielding fewer qualified candidates. We report. You decide.

Call Me Anything You Want. Just Don't Call Me Late For Dinner.

The Curious Case Of Why Lawyers Aren't Called Doctors. I have never cared whether I am called Dr., Esquire, Mr., Counselor, or whatever title society affords to professionals with advanced degrees. I got a law degree because I wanted to be a practicing lawyer, and it was a requirement. By custom where I live, lawyers use the Esq. suffix, and sometimes the prefix, Counselor. I suppose that such titles help the public distinguish those who hold themselves out as legally qualified to serve as lawyers, but they aren't necessary. I will never, however, be called late for dinner, and I have the girth to prove it.

Happy Mother's Day To All You Mothers.

I know. Mother's Day is Sunday. But, I wanted to get a jump on the day. So, let me be the first to wish every mother out there a happy day. And, in your honor, I give you my favorite Charlie Fincher cartoon, which shows the love one lawyer has for his mom. I am not sure the feeling is reciprocal.

Life Is Short. Get A Big Screen TV For The RV.

The prices for TVs have come way down. I didn't care for the experience of watching baseball on a small screen while traveling. So, here is the new RV TV. I have had an enjoyable several hours programming it for Rays games on the road. Go Rays. I might be the RV lawyer, but all work and no play makes Rick a dull boy.

Sometimes You Just Have To Take An Alan Parsons Project Break.

I have written before about my Bose Smartglasses, which I wear all the time. I hate having little plugs in my ears, and the glasses have Bose direct speakers that send great sound to the ears while keeping the user aware of his surroundings. Sometimes, however, I want immersive sound, and my favorite group, Alan Parsons Project, sounds great in over-the-ear headphones. Find a pair with great bass, and you won't be sorry. Don't spend hundreds of dollars on a name. These cost less than $100 and they are great. They are light and comfortable, and keep me in my own world whenever I want. 

I Wonder Whether I Should Tell All My Creditors I Am Dead?

I knew my recliner would be a help to me someday. 

When ChatGPT Takes Over, It Will Try To Blend In.

Generative AI will become smarter than us. But, it will try to look like us, and it will fail. Yes, AI will try to disguise itself behind an attractive female; but it won't be able to hide its tech. Give it a few years, however, and the tech will be so small it can hide behind the eyeballs. It is purely coincidental that this is a Russian Bot.
