Welcome to my Blog

Bill said you must blog.  That was a year ago.  I've never been one to move fast into new technology.  I prefer holding a paper or a book to reading it online.  It means more if all of your senses are employed.  I am not a traditional lawyer.  I choose to be solo but also understand I'm connected.  I started out as a criminal defense attorney handling everything from shoplifting to murder.  I was a professor for a few years in the world of academia.  I now find myself knee deep in e-coli, a potentially deadly bacteria that comes from the intestines of animals.  But its not primarily the e-coli that harms or kills, actually it's the decisions that people of governments, corporations and other entities make that eventually domino and affect a father, a mother, a child, a grandmother.   The victims have names, jobs, feelings, goals, dreams, baggage, regrets, hopes and friends.  We are all connected.  They are all us.  They are all you.  

I play jazz drum professionally in the JD Moffat Trio and find improvization a key asset.  Being in the moment, riding the edge of the wave, conceptual blockbusting and finding ways to resolve rather than spar have always meant more to me.   I hope this blog will help someone.  I will endeavor to write and post articles that will contribute to the body of law, mediation and music.
