defendant.
after making the decision
to challenge my traffic ticket
(I’m innocent, for the record)
my scheduled hearing
has been adjourned twice.
in today’s mail
I received the new date
for my next potential hearing.
I had to laugh
when I picked up the new envelope
(for the third time now)
and it once again clearly read:
Defendant
just above my name
with the court address In the return corner
I have to wonder
just what major crime
my mr. rogers sweet and friendly mailman
thinks I may have committed?
‘we find the defendants incredibly guilty.’

disorientation.
how lucky are we that the future lawyers are to be offered this experience?

“justice is conscience, not a personal conscience,
but the conscience of the whole of humanity.
those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience
usually recognize the voice of justice.”

how i spend my weekends?
fellow blogger friend and humorist, tom nardone, http://tomnardone.net/home/ posted a spaghetti western/clint eastwood-style piece. told him i wanted to get in on that and be a free-wheelin’ wild woman, meting out justice all over the land. tom is a man who dealt with a lot of injustice as a child, and lived to write about it. he now helps others with his honest childhood stories and his comical approach to life as an adult. well lo and behold, he made my justice fighter dream come true. here is tom’s version of what i am doing with my time off when i’m not teaching kindergarten. thank you tom.
