My traffic almost doubled the last two days, but I can't figure out why: no new incoming links, the com boxes are slow, no email from someone saying he saw my blog linked at rosieodonnel.com.

Two weeks ago, I said the practice of law is like having a bar with ten stools. When the ten stools are full with paying customers, you don't want to give away drinks to a non-paying customer. Well, it's been standing room only at my office the past two weeks, but not today. I'd say the bar is half full, and I'm itching for the four (okay, five) day weekend. Two weeks of heavy lifting is about to give way to heavy hoisting. I'm more excited than Ted Kennedy in a cat house.

One of the saddest, sickest, nastiest stories of the year: He was born a man. After a lifetime as a social misfit, he had transformed himself into Michelle, a saucy redhead. Then, three months ago, he had become Michael again – with the financial aid and spiritual encouragement of Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale. Now, he wanted to be Michelle again.
