Let's try to put things in perspective before we windsurf over to the glorious South Beach Wine & Food Festival, which is always a blast (even if ticket sales are down and they are losing sponsors due to the crumbling economy):
Let's see -- it's raining rats at the Palm Beach County courthouse; even Blackwater(!) had to lay off some workers; we can't afford to build more prisons and may have to let some prisoners go free; and -- believe it or not -- but we will all have to pitch in and buy Maurice Jay Kutner's law office an answering machine:
Maurice Jay Kutner and Anthony Sabatino, listed in court records as Louise Sage Stanford’s lawyers in the Florida case, also were unavailable for comment late yesterday. Their law firm telephone didn’t have an answering machine."Their law firm telephone didn't have an answering machine"? Holy hail, did Bloomberg News just report that?
I hope many of you have volunteered to serve as judges in the various student mock trial competitions that we will soon be hosting -- both the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition (which will be held in a few weeks at Rump's joint) and Miami-Dade County High School Mock Trial Competition (which takes place next week at the Knight Center) need qualified volunteers.
Me, I've been studying new employment relationships, enjoying the latest issue of SI, and learning this very interesting fact about the internets:
Of course, some workplaces aren't keen on having dogs or private dance parties during the day, so office workers with online access find Internet distractions. Gretchen Doores, a senior account executive at Greenough Communications, lets herself check her social networking profiles and chat with friends for a few minutes. After she's had some virtual recreation, she's ready to go back to work.You mean bored office workers sometimes fool around on this thing? You learn something new every day.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Superb Friday post, SFL. Take some salt on your board with you--
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her way
yeah, yeah, yeah,
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
So Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna lose it
You're gonna -- lose control
yeah, yeah, yeah Just Hold On Loosely but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
SFL, I notice your Friday posts always reference 'windsurfing' and volunteer work. How'd you get to be so well-rounded?
2:54- Nice.
SFL, these "health" articles you post, do you "test" them out before posting?
3:03- "Volunteer Work?" Hmm and what is that a euphemism for?
3:06- One guess.....
SFL posts Fri.articles because he is worried about our health.
How does posting an article about Sugar Daddies help?
3:17, I'm interested in your financial health too.
Hot rumor- shumie himself private chat with princess on Twitter.
3:28- Please post the chat transcript!
Shumie is so 1999.
Shumie welcomes private dance parties. Shumie reads on Rumpy's blog princess can shimmie and slide up and down a dance pole. Shumie wants to watch her.
4:11 does Shumie think life is like a box of chocolates?
here's the deal. If you watch the movie JAWS backwards, it's basically about a shark that keeps throwing up people and eventually they have to open the beaches.
HAHAHAHAhAhHAHA/
4:11- newbie thinks shumie needs to shoot himself in the head for posting a degrading comment.
Top 5 National Enquirer Shumie Headlines in the last few months:
5) Shumie Time for Bush and Cheney?
4) Kirsten sneaks off set for some Shumie Time.
3) Jen and Brad call a Shumie??
2) Angelina to Brad- it's shumie time.
1) Elvis- the greates Shumie Time ever???
You can't leave a message at Kutner's law office? Great catch SFL.
newbie turns out to be way smarter than shumie.
5:05 and I'm ouuta here.
All together now
SHUMIE TIME!!!!!! FIRST BEER'S ON ME.
Shumie is going to be shuuuuuuming with the princess tonight.
4:11-Shumie hears from other shumie princess is like a kitty cat on the pole. Purr......
Shumie time is a mindset; a feeling; a life style committed to enjoying the finer things in life. Nice Cars. Hot Boats. Great Vacation Homes. Sleek Private Planes. The best wine with the best cigars and the sexiest babes on our arms.
It has NOTHING to do with any particular attorney and for legal reasons we'd like to keep it that way.
5:23, so it's lawyer self-parody.
My shumie time-- sharing a bottle of wine with the princess on my yacht...and after she can light my cigar.
Shumie time- Princess leaving her claw marks on my back.
5:23- Well said. For me Shumie time also involves liquoring up the Princess but the latter part of 5:42 paints quite a picture.
5:23- How much money are you shumie-time lawyers raking in?
3:17- There's some hidden underlying message isn't there SFL?
7:04- If you have to ask son, then you are not "raking" it in.
All the Shumie posters, you're all one guy right?
Hi SFL. I saw your blog link on CP's and decided to check it out.
Enjoyed reading a number of your posts just now.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.
Thanks.

9:29-- 10,000 READERS A DAY {and growing} equals 10,000 SHUMIE TIME LOVERS!
Come join us SFL! Be part of the Shumie Time crowd-- you already have the latin-babe on your arm.
Shumie Time on my Harley!
We've gone shumie wild!!!!!
Yep, all one guy.
For those of you that are Shumie Newbies, please be advised that it is considered bad form to mention ßhumie time on the weekends. It is ASSUMED that weekends are for fun and al time is shumie time on the weekend. Save the Shumie for cutting out of work early during the week.
SFL I've gotten use to the princess comments and truth be told I like her and her blog-- but why the hell did you welcome Shumie Time?!?! Let them nest all over the J/B/Blog.
2:57- WTF?
Hey shumie psychos, why don't you take your hot boats and sail on over to Cuba? Perhaps Castro is interested in shumie time.
Note: Leave behind the sexy babes.
SFL tell the one guy posting all the Shumie comments to go away.
I remember mock trials in law school unfortunately I lost my first case!
3:05- What else do you think SFL does during the week? Practice law?
8:49- FYI the Cubans do not want shumie. They have enough problems.
5:23 why don't you take your "mindset/feeling" and sail on over to an island full of cannibals.
We at shumie time have a great new home here, They didn't like or appreciate us at Rumpole's blog. It's mostly a civil lawyer thing anyway. The guys who ran with this and took it to Hollywood for a scrren play and a pilot are civil guys anyway.
The shumie refugees have descended upon this blog with permission from SFL.
You must be proud, SFL.
Yeaaaaah! Shumie For President!
9:38, I expect everyone here to behave civilly and to be respectful of our diverse readership.
Sharp new look
shumietimeexpert at 2:57- Rules to shumie time? Do you have any idea how ridiculous you guys sound? Go back to Sir Rump-A-Lot.
SFL what are you running a shelter for homeless bloggers?
Is it true SFL you are twittering with the latina? If so, what is she like- one word to describe her? [I can't get a comment published, just curious]
9:42, I'm hoping they'll settle down and get in the groove a bit more.
11:31-- That answers the first portion of the question but you ah, forgot the main one. You are so secretive when it comes to answering questions about the princess. Come on SFL I'm not asking for a detailed report- it is one curious but innocent question.
1:57, you are clearly a gifted advocate, with fine cross-examination skills.
I hope this addresses your concern.
4:07- No, it doesn't address anything. Why are you being so rigid on this SFL?
Waiting to get an answer is more painful than having a tooth pulled without any Novocaine, SFL. Is it that hard to come up with one word? If so, let's make it two or three.
SFL must be sworn to secrecy.
I am never going to get an answer from SFL.
