Sunday evening, and glancing back

It's been a beautiful spring weekend here in Denver — sunny, with highs in the 60s and 70s. There's some much-needed rain in the forecast for mid-week. Wind, cold, and rain are in the forecast for Tuesday. As luck would have it, I've got an interview that day. Will it be my ill fortune to get drenched on the way to the interview?

A year ago today, I was spending a weekend in the office preparing to second-chair a two-week arbitration hearing. That was the case for which I worked four weeks of long days with no days off. The arbitrator eventually returned a favorable but relatively undramatic award. I don't have a very clear memory of the first half of 2004, apart from transcripts, exhibits, pleadings, and letters. I came to the conclusion that that's not much of a life.

Two years ago today, I was preparing to start a new job the next Tuesday.

Three years ago today, I was working my way through my last semester of law school. (And how wretchedly it dragged on!)
