Where the hell have I been?

Probably waiting for the right time to come back.  I looked at the blog in the last week and saw that the last time I had posted anything was the end of April.  So why now?  Why even bother to write anything after more than 4 months?  Well, I'm not really sure.

Alot has happened since I last blogged.  I found out that the Judges were reading what I had been writing.  Doing google searches on what was being published on the internet about their cases.  I was discovered.  Nothing bad, of course.  But I knew they were out there.  They still are.  That didn't dissuade me from writing.  I just think it was time and work and my family and summer.

It probably really isn't a coincidence that the last time I took the time to write was before the weather got nice here in Connecticut.  And it's still nice.  The season is turning from summer to fall <slowly> and soon the leaves will be changing.  People have told me they have already started changing upstate. (Note for those unfamiliar with the State of Connecticut: upstate Connecticut is only one hour from downstate Connecticut.  Connecticut is not California.  This is not a big state.)

Since I last blogged, my son has gone from beginning his spring high school baseball season to beginning his high school football season.  My daughter has gone from ending her first year of college to starting her second.  Angel Cabrera is almost ready to get out of prison and go to a halfway house.  And a whole bunch of new clients are starting out new prosecutions.  To everything there is a season.

I would make another promise to be more diligent about writing the blog.  Even my college daughter has started writing one.  I don't ready hers (It already drives my wife nuts.) and I don't think that I have told her about mine (I am confident the writing wouldn't interest her.)  I remain impressed by the folks that write volumes daily.  I truly don't know how they do it and maintain any kind of regular job.  I remain dedicated to the defense of death penalty cases.  In fact, I have to appear in court in Hartford, Connecticut in the morning on one of those pending capital matters.  The one that I last wrote about in April.  And one other one is closer to trial.

I will post this now to make sure I don't lose it.  I still haven't figured out how to post a photo to the blog.  Maybe that is what has dissuaded me from blogging, my inability to make this space look interesting, my inability to improve my blog.  I would promise further dedication in this regard, but that would be a false promise.  I can promise to do more than I have and I can promise to do better.  Please don't hold me to that, but you have my promise that I will try.

I'm sorry I've been gone so long.  It's nice to be back.
