I’m Going to Disneyland!
I confess. I Love My Blackberry.
I’m reading ATL today about all the strange places people use their Blackberries. It got me thinking of all the GREAT things I get to do because I have my Blackberry.
- Disneyland, in line for Dumbo (the longest line at D-land), where, after sending some long replies on

Complexo Numerus
I was forwarded an article from Friday’s issue of The Recorder, “Building a Book.” I wanted to pick up the phone and shout out, “Hey, did you read that whole part about financial motivation?”
Associates are encouraged to wine and dine potential clients with the help of an unlimited expense account. And they’re

Law firm management at George Washington University
The Alexandria outpost of George Washington University is the scene of the third cohort of 18 students working on a certificate/masters program in Law Firm Management. That’s right…there is such a thing, and I’m in the middle of it, after cramming the required reading in a period of two months: Law Firm Strategy…
Random Thoughts
Maybe it’s the nightmare I had last night that the Lakers blew their 24-point lead and lost to the Celtics, but I am in an irreverent mood today. And while the cup might not be half full on Figueroa today, it’s definitely filled with something a bit stronger than coffee.

I understand it when Brittany, Amy and Lindsay need to get the heat off, but come on,…
Even McCain’s Doing It
With the Secret Service, CIA, FBI and Karl Rove on speed dial, McCain turns to Google to vet VP candidates.
It got me wondering, if you don’t show up in the first few pages of a Google search result, do you exist? And, if you don’t exist in Google, how do you create a presence…
iWANT ONE!
I’m not talking about iceCream. I want an iPhone. I’m not a gadget sort of gal, but this new iPhone is looking luscious. The first thing I did when I dropped out of corporate America was go back to Mac. I, like many early home computer users, started out on a Mac SE in…
To List or Not to List…that seems to be “The” question du jour’
Martindale Hubbell has been considered the “bible” of the legal industry for decades. Attorneys historically vie vying for the elusive AV rating, a rating demonstrating the highest ethical and intellectual standards, a rating is deeply tied to the attorney’s skill, knowledge, and ego.
But, unlike many ratings, the AV rating is not one that can…
