If it seems I am over you

Yes, i know, it's been awhile since I've been here. And it's not that I am over you, dearest blog. It's the life has been crazy for a good long time. So for those of you looking for an update:

Since my last post, the followings have happened:

1. A good friend has moved forward with an adoption despite the credit crunch in this country. Now, just how does the credit problem impinge on an adoption? Visit http://www.5forhope.com/ to get the full story and while you're there, don't be afraid to let your heart do your thinking.

2. Another dear, old friend and I reunited via Facebook. The love story that is his still makes me well up and you that know me know how hard that is to do. The joys of rekindling old friendships is one of life's little wonders.

3. Lots and lots of baby news for my friends: my law school roomie (whose cat serves as my profile pic) is blessed with her first, another girlfriend is blessed with her fourth and first girl and my daughter dearest (from law school) has a bouncing baby boy on the way - he, however, is a great dane.

4. Israel invaded Gaza. I have an opinion but really it boils down to this: Forget the past and forge a future together. Neither side is going any where so figure it out.

5. Law life involves 15 criminal cases, three divorces, several civil cases and in the next month, oral arguments before the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, two briefs to the state appeallate court and a trial. Who said this wasn't fun?

6. Hillary Clinton is still annoying.

7. So is Richard Lugar.

8. Bush did his last press conference...and provided several new facial expressions which can be compared to all members of the simian family.

9. The NFL regular season proved that (a) Ted Thompson is an idiot, (b) Aaron Rogers is a pretty decent little QB despite Mike McCarthy's inability to call the last 2 minutes of the game and (c) Brett Favre, while not the godsend all hoped for, brought the Jets to a respectable level and (d) he was dropped on his head too many time because he started the retirement shit with two weeks left in the season.

10. The BCS proved once again that it sucks, totally.

My new years blog resolution - at least one post a week until I run out of Buffett songs to use as headings.
