I've been meaning to write about the end of Nog Season for a while now. For most of you Nog Season ended a few weeks ago when you could no longer get the nog of your choice at your local supermarket. Whether you prefer boiled custard, cinnamon egg nog, or just classic egg; Nog Season is the best time of the year.
For me Nog Season was extended with the purchase of four containers of Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice eggnog. Nog Season ended today as i finished the last bit of nog this morning before i left the house. It was a good season, but it is done and i'll have to wait another ten months for the next one to begin.
I had intended for this entry to be more of a lamentation but it is very hard for me to dwell on the negative for the moment. Maybe next year i can do the end of Nog Season proper justice; however, today i am just not feeling it. In fact i am feeling pretty good.
Today i won my trial. This case had it all. I cared a lot about this client, he was a good guy who needed the win so that he could go on in his chosen profession. The prosecutor was skilled, and better yet one of my friends. Victory is sweet. It is sweeter when it is shared with friends. It is sweeter still when it it over friends. So this was sweet. And i was good.
I know that you all expect me to be pretty self-laudatory. I am not really know for my humility. But today i was good; no, today i was great. The jury was not out for fifteen minutes today. It was a decisive win. If you get into trouble this is the type of performance you want me to put in, trust me.
Someday my friend may read this so let me say, you did a good job. Today was my day to win. You'll get yours and then you can lord it over me. The wheel keeps on turning. And guys in yellow shirts with pinky rings are definitely red regardless of how blue their answers may be.
I will not crow any longer. I am not here to gloat. I just wish i'd have saved a little bit of my nog to celebrate with.
Later
Bob
