Post One Hundred Fifty Seven: Home Alone

The wife and kids have gone to Alabama for the Thanksgiving holiday. I have entirely too much work going on (trial prep) to miss a week.

Oh, and there's the issue of my Cowboys season tickets.

So I am home alone, being very boring. I don't go out (save for the Cowboy game) but I think I'm going to go see Role Models tonight. Something to do, and I need something to take my mind off work. Too much work being done on an incredibly shitty case. The client is a shitbird. The facts are bad. The only thing that might save it is the premium plaintiff-friendly venue.

This goes against my defense-counsel orientation. Ugh. The things a firm will do for money.

I am going to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Very, very nice of him and his wife to invite me over. Otherwise, I would probably have to make do with what's in the freezer and fridge, sitting alone in my dark, empty house. All alone.

Well, that sounds like that could have been quite depressing.
