Off-topic: unbreak my heart

I've always been conceited about having a bigger heart than other peoples'. Last month I got proof from a cardiologist that it's true. In the morning, I'm going in for lap-band surgery to ease the strain a bit. After that, I'll be taking a load off. This silly blog will recommence sometime next week.

In the meantime, please enjoy this dog and cat photo.

best to you, skelly! and take it easy on yourself for a while -- surgery is a big deal, and even intrepid defenders need time to heal.

excellent dog and cat photo! our foster formerly-feral kitties are running wild and happy around the home office and environs. i'm counting them as success stories, since they arrived scared, skinny, and hostile. a little love and caring goes a long way.

fyi, surgery is a good ground for continuance. [and then there is the alternative, threatening to show up and bleed and/or faint all over the courtroom... just saying, that's a prospect most judges won't want to consider.]
