Channeling Trainsnorter. While attempting to cut a tight, rather heavy ziptie, with scissors, I instead cut the meaty part of my thumb. A half hour of elevation later, i stood up and it resumed its bleeding like a stuck pig. Likely no riding for me today. More likely reading.

Another good friend is a dentist who also had a custom Moots but now he has off-the-rack, but top shelf, Specializedesesese.
He's also one of the strongest riders I know and even though he's pushing 70 will tear my legs off any day of the week. I don't make Cκŗvěłő jokes with him.

I ride with a lot of lawyers, most of whom are GCs at medium-big companies or partners at fancy downtown firms. They obviously have time to ride and, judging by where they live, they are doing pret-ty well for themselves. No other docs, no dentists.

You're not alone. Just as long as we can be friends without any QPQ, which has been rampant lately.

Speaking of running, I hope everyone made note of the study revealed yesterday that running, as little as once a week, can prolong your life. I don't know any details, but the finding should be enough to take running out of the "stupid" category.

I think Vol was doing finance/accounting stuff last time he was here. My wife isn't practicing either. Lawyer jobs mostly suck.

Lawyering's ok for them whats suited to 'the life'. I wasn't. 9 or so years of corporate/tax (in the '80s), and I was done. Academic life has become toxic, sadly, but I should be out in a couple of years.

I remember him for weather, some Canada talk, and constant complaining. Miss that; he should come back.

My wife did the large firm, medium firm, in house thing for 15 years and was done. She kept thinking one would be better, but it all eventually sucked.

I toyed with the idea of teaching law, but decided to move right away and back into linguistics/history of the language/communication theory and practice. My JD has been a very useful credential, though, and I've never regretted it or that legal experience. Our law school is still relatively sane, but sadly showing signs of going the way of others up here.
