Until recently, I had forgotten about this aspect of life in a law firm. But the reply-to-all to such a mass email is a thing of beauty.

The sad thing, is only 3 out of 60 people will get it.

I predict about 50 emails saying:

"I know you said you would do a google search for me but some weird video popped up."

And then I would have to explain The Rick Roll

It's been a couple of years, but I had a mediation in Milwaukee and stayed at the Hilton downtown. It's a restored old hotel, and I have admittedly middlebrow taste, but I liked the vibe. They named the conference rooms after brewery founders - my mediation was held in Joseph Schlitz, brewer of The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous.

As I recall, it wasn't too far from a bunch of bars, restaurants, and the lakeshore. I was there in the winter, though, so I can only tell you that their in-house restaurant was Not Bad. And the bartenders made a good Manhattan and gave a generous pour.

Maybe the Midwesterners in the class can share their wisdom?

What I told you but adding --

Every bartender out there knows how to make a good Manhattan or a good Old Fashioned.

I've never been there. But I certainly know people who have. PM me if you are still looking for info and I can ask around.

Seeking advice from Hank: I have been entering the New Yorker cartoon caption contest every week. Each week, regardless of the illustration, I suggest the caption, "Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut; it comes back but it's never the same." Each week, I am not selected. What am I doing wrong?

Stop sending it to the New Yorker, start sending it as a pitch to The Moth. Then you're in like Flynn.

I was seeking advice from Hank. Also, two things I have seen today:

1) Ironman tramp stamp on women getting ready to swim at the gym. It made me think of youknowwho . . . *sniff*.

2) "I [heart] guns, titties & Jeeps" bumper sticker. On a blue Jeep Wrangler with the license plate PJAX, which I assume is some sort of shorthand for premature ejaculation.

Why his sister?

I like the approach, but you have to give it time. You're building up a persona that just takes a body of work, you need to get to where they start subconsciously moving the cartoons in the direction you want.

You might also create a few socks and have them post different flavors of that same caption. Repeated similar captions tell the judges you're on to something.

I've never been. I only know how to pronounce it - thanks Alice Cooper!

Can I sue my wholly owned PLLC for sexual harassment?

My phone provider recently added (at no extra cost!) a feature that transcribes my voice mail messages and emails them to me. I just received the following email transcribing a message from a client:

Hey, [Got Fob] It's [female client's somewhat difficult name correctly spelled] You know what was gonna trick me. I love you and I didn't bring this up. I love looking at you know that with you got time you wanna come. I just actually went back can we can take off the list. We need to let you have the selfies. Thanks. Bye.

The real message was, alas, not as interesting.

I came across this article today about how many women were actually using the site (hint: not many). The whole debacle is pretty sad.

I have a close family member who is likely headed to divorce over this. I understand her point of view (it's more about the lies and lack of trust than the account itself), but if there was like a 0% chance that him opening the account was actually going to lead to any action, aren't those extenuating circumstances?? Sigh.
