Boy May Grow Up Yet

I've been gone. I apologize. I spent a very relaxing and comfortable (and bikeless) five days on a lake near Racine, Wisconsin. My son and I took the train to Milwaukee and then went from there. He learned to fish, saw his first firefly, learned how to canoe, experienced a paddleboat, and had the courage to grab on and fling himself off on a rope swing.

So, I get back to the real grind of all the stuff this boy has to deal with: career, a roommate for my house (check out www.haguehouse.blogspot.com for details), closing my organization's office, and dealing with my ever-present singlehood. So I decided to grow up and . . . go on a lunch date. It's today, and if it goes well you will likely hear nothing about it. Or maybe if it goes badly you'll hear nothing about it. We'll see. After the date, I'll decide any career issues by 4:00, select a roommate by 8:00, and get my organization's office closed and moved out by noon tomorrow. That's how you do things as a lawyer.

More bike things in a bit. Thanks, UJ, for kicking my butt and telling me to get back to blogging.
