"Since our last chat..."

"Since our last chat..." is a periodic column in The Causeway by Bar member Barb Townsend.  

 

  

 

February is an impossibly short month. Once again I had plans and am on the road. However, I didn't take the time, between being sure that my desk was clear and anticipating the backlog when I return, to assure that this column was complete. While thinking I may have to skip a month, Victoria Edwards, Esq., provided me with a fun story through a posting on Facebook. If you've read this already, apologies.

 

Victoria posted a picture of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy looking adorable and cuddly. The script was a lament. It seems that the purchaser bought the puppy as a surprise for her husband. 

Unfortunately, the husband was, allegedly unknown to wife, allergic to the pup. Thus the plea: Please find a home for Alan. He's a talented vacation planner, do-it-yourselfer and driver.

 

I could not resist. I responded to the post. I'll provide temporary housing, I said, during the remodeling of my house, while the author looks for permanent housing for her displaced....

 

Before I headed out on this road trip, I saw Michael Toms, Esq., on the Third Floor of the Courthouse. Since I've been reading a series by Laura Perry, I thought I'd share my find with Mike. Ms. Perry is the author of a series of murder mysteries solved by a Chief Inspector for the Suriete of Quebec Province in Canada. I started by asking Mike if he read murder mysteries.

 

A conversation ensued. Since we tend to concentrate in different areas of the law, it proved worthy of comment. Mike acknowledge that he no longer watches television dramas that entail trial practice. He avoid any contact with police or crime shows or reading material. He is not interested in detective novels. I reflected and then admitted that if I see a domestic dispute developing or there's something about child custody, I immediately start looking for another program or book. I have an adverse reaction when social friends attempt to discuss support or the latest gossip about couples. We do get tired of the same situation repeating itself...
