I got my first speeding ticket today in over 30 years.  I deserved it,  I was polite to the officer.  After all he was just doing his job.  I guess he appreciated the fact that I cooperated, because he proceeded to tell me how to plea bargain the ticket.  I didn't tell him that I was an Attorney.  He seemed like a nice young man.  I was the idiot speeding.

Where was I speeding to?  I was returning from the Gym to my office, where the telephones are not ringing and the only mail is bills.

I've been an Attorney for 26 years, mostly doing Real Estate. This is the worst that I've seen it.

A friend of mine and I discuss our credit card debt.  Mine is only staggering to me.

A number of years ago, when business was good,  I loaned some money to my wife's cousin's husband.  His wife doesn;t know about it.  They take elaborate vacations.  We went out with them Saturday Night, with the understanding that neither of us, would order wine.   The meal was delicious.  I hope that his pre-dinner and after dinner wines were also delicious.  I paid for half of it.   i also kept my part of the bargain.  He owes me pretty much what I owe Mastercard.  Ergo, besides the government,  I may be the only entity that loan money and then pays the interest on it.    The Jello bail out system.
