Happy New Year to everyone. Please feel free not to recipricate because I already know 2007 will be the worst year of my life.

I am in Gethsemene for the moment if anyone needs me.

Its been that long since I did an update and I have been that busy. Some more bad shit, this time at wrok from a direction I did not expect but I just got to live with it in the new year.

Merry Christmas to all my loyal reader. I have spent the day constructing a scooter, a train set (with 2 extensions), a doll...

I have settled down a bit today so best to move on to a new entry. I feel not anger but chagrin when I depart from the philosophy of Stoicism which has worked for me so far. And I can't believe how anal I was to try to cry and spell check at the same time.

I am appreciating the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice...

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Trials (as usual these days) with no. 9 for the year on Monday. I've cancelled New Zealand which was an emotional struggle but the fight decision in the long run, I hope.

Looking forward to more juvenile wish fulfillment with Medieval 2 on Thursday 16 November.

Bit of a weird weekend. Great team bonding for my crew at the firm's quiz night followed by a very down Saturday & Sunday. Most of the time I am either thinking in the now with Cheryl or thinking how to cope looking after Emily when she is gone but I spent most of the weekend thinking how empty it will be without...

Noosa was good. Except for almost falling asleep at the wheel driving up because I had been up since 5am, taken Emily to swimming lessons at 11am and then a birthday party at 1pm before heading off at 4pm. I could feel a few times losing concentration and then just a millisecond blackout near the Ettomogah Pub. Fortunately (and obviously), no harm done - we...

Good week. Settled 2 trials in 2 days. And new work coming in faster than I can dish it out to the juniors. Lots of money, lots of tired.

Forgot to post for the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Saalfeld and I will be up in Noosa for the 200th anniversary of Jena & Auerstadt on Saturday - the latter being very big for...

Fanny, Rys, India & Flux. What a fantastic week.

Busy (as usual for this year) with trials. 2 more next week and another 3 before the end of the year, including 1 on Christmas Eve.

Cheryl's blood works are holding up although the cancer enzyme markers are not down as much as we hoped. I suggested a big party for her 39th...

Finished trial no. 2. CAV with a 50/50 chance.

Trial 3 feel over after the late disclosure of a psych report by the opposition and Trial 4 settled after the first day half through the plaintiff's X exam.

Which is just as well as I have been feeling like shit since Sunday. Monday was a charming cocktail of ventilin, codral, sudafed and trial adrenalin. I...

1 down, 4 to go.

Work is still flat out but all of the prep over the last 2 months is paying off.

I was actually bordering on depression on the 29/30 July weekend because I thought I had completely fucked up a trial but then on Monday the other side admitted the evidence wasn't genuine and it was game on again.

And in another...
