Are you happy?
19 April 2007I don’t mean the kind of happy where you sit at your desk and giggle with delight all day. This type of happy leads to co-workers sniffing the brownies you made or your coffee cup whenever you aren’t around.
When you take the time to reflect on where you are and everything you have accomplished, are […]
Lost and Found in Mexico
13 April 2007Years ago, Town and Country ran a story about San Miguel de Allende, featuring the town’s beautiful people dressed in the kind of garb that people who’re featured in Town and Country tend to wear. They’re not the people who read People, you know. One line mentioned something about the passionate people of San […]

Wasted Opportunity?

Some solo attorneys tend to have a general practice that handles every client that calls or walks in. For the most part though, solo attorneys are focusing their practice on only […]

Living in the Southern California presents me with opportunities to do some of the best local motorcycle riding in the world without having to travel too far.
