The latest at croc_sandwich Busy day at work. I'm going to be out of the office all next week so I was scrambling to get stuff done. Naturally, all the frantic phone calls arrived in the late afternoon (isn't that always the way?). I'm going to be teaching at the trial ad seminar, as usual, plus the CLE seminar. I talked to my friend/colleague's wife yesterday, and, as I suspected, he won't be able to make the program. He is still in the hospital, but doing better, thank goodness. So I've been scrambling to get that put together.
Casa Italiana is having a trip to Italy in July, to Piemonte, in the north, cheese, wine, etc. I thought I'd give myself a birthday present. Then I looked at airfares. The cheapest fare I could find was well above twice what I paid when I went to Venice in February. Yes, I know it's high season, but still. We're talking minimum $1300. This really sucks. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. (On the other hand, it's not Venice.)
