Thoughts on practicing law in the bathtub? Presently I’m soaking in my tub and reviewing contracts while sipping on a glass of bourbon. Sure, I could move to my home office, couch, or even bed but there’s something great about being paid to take a bath.

I wish I could do this! I tried with a PSA and later a lease once and dropped the lot in the hot tub and luckily have AppleCare … don’t ask. I don’t drink Bourbon these days (again don’t ask), but what sounds like a great idea in theory didn’t work for me. Ha!

I write every brief with the assumption that the judge reads it with wine in the bathtub; so I kind of like the symmetry of writing it from the bathtub as well.

Hi!

Today I read the op-ed in LA Weekly by the Preux and Proper owner, Josh Kopel. When this group started, it was a dream of mine to meet you while enjoying a drink or a meal and build a community of people who enjoy the city and wanted to explore its food. It’s surreal to think that we have been in lockdown for this long. I know many restaurants may be struggling and if you have a favorite, a local gem, please share with us.

Is it fraud or somehow bad to just start and quit a 2nd job every 1-2 months once you actually start to have to do real work? The first few weeks of most jobs tend to be pretty low stress and an easy paycheck or 2. And if you only do this at employers you wouldn't return to, is there a downside?
