I've decided to make "jeans on the day before Thanksgiving" a new firm tradition. I started the tradition today.

Funny you should mention that. At my (rather staid -- at least in terms of sartorial requirements) firm, the CEO declared today a special (one-time-only) Jeans Day. It's because one of the merchant banking companies (which makes jeans) is doing a public offering or something. If only he'd declared it jeans year. Hmmm. Maybe I'll speak to him about that.

Oh, Chaser. You're incorrigible!

Tanker Fire Closes I-95 North of D.C.

What a nightmare. Used to drive up I-95 for Thanksgiving -- it's horrific enough even without crap like this.

That was yesterday, actually. I had a hearing.

Today, since the office is closed, I decided to wear my "Make Love, Not Law Review" t-shirt

you know, when you find yourself having fights with everybody you might consider if perhaps "everybody" is not who is at fault.

All very interesting. But how come you didn't ask why they don't teach Spartans how to make game winning, uncontested lay-ups?

I decided this as well. The partner in the office two doors down is wearing his usual three button blue suit, with his jacket on. I feel like a bit of a slacker, but I don't really care. No one else seems to be around.

The partner in the office two doors down clearly needs a tractor to come along and remove the cork from his tightly-clenched sphincter.

Chances are, this is the guy you see on Saturday morning mowing his lawn wearing bermuda shorts, dress shoes, black socks, and garters. Have pity for him.

We are trying to work out who of the new guys can step up and supplement our 4 main guys. I think we found one guy who can't.

If I had a basketball jones ("so, baby, ooh-ooh-ooooh"), I probably would have. However, despite the fact that older brother Not Nick was a high school hoops legend, I just can't seem get into watching the game as an adult.* Probably because I sucked at it as a lad.

(Of course, I couldn't hit the curve ball** as a lad, and yet I love baseball.)

*As a kid, I loved the Knicks. And I got Meadowlark Lemmon's authograph.

**Nor could I hit the fastball or the change-up. And my fielding was weak, too. And in my one game on the mound, I walked in enough runners to invoke the 10 run rule. Other than that, I had serious game.

Indeed. Although I am somewhat more concerned about the other partner I just ran into who is wearing exactly the same thing I am (same color jeans, same type of shoes, same color sweatshirt (not really a sweatshirt in my case, but close enough -
something more like this.)). It's spooky. And I think he thinks we've now bonded.

Not Bob · 11-23-2005, 02:22 PM

It has been brought to my attention that I erroneously lumped slave with sebby in the anti-Bruce lyrics camp. My statement was wrong (memory is Not Reliable), and, of course, Not Bob regrets the error.

Carry on.

So, fess up. You're the partner in the three-button suit, aren't you?
