A legal brief submitted somewhat tongue-in-cheek by a harried junior paralegal in response to a Partner’s request to research local Manhattan sushi restaurants. This brief has been making the rounds of legal firms all over town and today ended up on the front page of the NY Times.

Halloween
Yep, Halloween’s just around the corner and the kids are already comparing their costumes. One of the kids on the block planted the idea that the best costume is one which can hold the most candy. Previously popular categories such as Superheroes & Villains went out the window. For some reason no one liked my suggestion of a large Shop-Rite bag and they haven’t figured out a kangaroo yet.
Tyler’s going to be a Raccoon because, “they wash their hands and can run fast through the night.” Julia’s going to be a flying unicorn but she didn’t have anything to do with the decision. eBay came to our rescue and we quickly found what we needed.
For a lighter side look at the decision of what to be for Halloween, take a look at retroCRUSH: the world’s finest pop culture and Leo Sayer website, hilarious.

Fashion
Tyler’s beginning to get a sense of fashion. The other day he wanted to dress himself and came down the stairs with a pair of baggy pants that were too long for his legs. I offered to tuck them up for him but he insisted that I leave it alone.

Wifi Spray
Now I know what I need to do to get that Cisco card of mine to talk to my Linksys – WiFi Speed Spray is “guaranteed to enhance the tranfer of computer data through the air.”

This dude has way too much time on his hands
This dude has way too much time on his hands but hey, I love all that conspiracy stuff, a good late night browse Paul Really Is Dead: Undeniable Proof That Paul McCartney Was Replaced With A Lookalike.. This one’s up there but no where near as good at the Pink Floyd Synchonizations.

Jamie and Heather get married
One of my high school friends was getting married on a farm in Vermont. It was a mini-reunion of sorts.
The weather was spectacular, blue skies, great friends new & old, good grub and drink, and a funky local band set the stage for a perfect afternoon.
The kids had a blast.

Yours truly reads down the list of reasons why Jamie should marry Heather
“# 10 – Oregonian communal bylaws require formal ceremony with friends within 2 years of first born!”

Vermont
After a week in Hawaii where we hooked up with the rest of the Takei Clan including the Great Grandma Nagao, the 84-year old matriarch – we hurried back home for a quick overnight rest and then hauled up North to Vermont to witness my old high school roommate restate his vows to his lovely wife Heather. Here we are all dressed up for the show at an old church right down the road from the Kidder farm.

Hot Tub

Upon arrival we quickly took advantage of the Takei’s hot tub which overlooks the tropical breezes of the Pacific Ocean. . .
