This week has been difficult, as I chronicled earlier. Several cases have taken interesting turns, as well, so my blogging time has been cut significantly while my stress level has risen exponentially. However, it still amazes me how little things can help out during trying times. I just spent over an hour on the phone with my friend Ryan, a prosecutor in South Carolina. More specifically, he lives in Rock Hill, South Carolina, the hometown of UT's first opponent in the NCAA Tournament. We just talked basketball for nearly an hour. So far, that was the highlight of my week. That may say something about my week, but it also shows how little things can bring so much more joy than one could reasonably expect.

On a completely unrelated note, I have been contacted by one of the more prominent MSM journalists to acknowledge this site, Robert Stacy McCain, the Assistant National Editor for The Washington Times. Mr. McCain has a blog, Donkey Cons, that pulls no punches against the Democrats. Mr. McCain pointed me to a post regarding "Fancy Ford" which readers may find interesting. It should also be noted that Mr. McCain and his co-blogger, Lynn Vincent of WORLD Magazine, have a book coming out entitled (not surprisingly), "Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime and Corruption in the Democratic Party." I have added it to the top of the Amazon links to the left, so feel free to pre-order at your leisure.

Geez, between this book and so many other excellent reading selections to come this year, including Nancy French's "A Red State of Mind," I might have to start making a little more money at this whole law thing (as well as donating my time to various campaigns).
