Teaser... Heads up for the Collectors!

There is no doubt about you, Richard. Appellate lawyers are a cut above and you are one of a kind among them.

[Richard S]

Thank you, Tracker. That is high praise from a superb source indeed.

Appellate work does have its advantages. It gives you a "stage" on which to "strut and fret" (as Shakespeare might have described it); your clients (other lawyers) bring the work to you; the work can pretty much be accomplished on your own schedule (within briefing and argumentation deadlines); and now and then you get to right a grievous wrong. That latter happy circumstance occurred one day last month. The referring laywer was stunned, the appellant wept with relief and joy, and the fee went for an appropriate 14th anniversary present for the awesome lady to whom I have the great good fortune now to be wed.

Life is good!

Thank you again for the kind words.

Richard,
   A very wise decision on how to spend the fee, sounds like two people ended up very happy as a result.

It's almost 10, I guess today is not the day.

Nope, don't think it's today!  As Duane said, tonight seems unlikely.

[yankee2500]

It's 10:00 PM, but Monday is not over yet.

Give it a rest.

[DDGator]

Sorry guys, tonight is not the night.  Hopefully tomorrow.  Working out a serious glitch that has to delay the reveal.  

And yes, appellate lawyers are definitely the cream of the crop!  

[ccoorreeyy]

Sounds good to me, now I can go to bed.  I think i've checked into the forum more today than I ever have just to check this thread.  +-5,000 times  

[kjtrains]

Does sound like the thing to do!

Time to rest and track this again tomorrow.

John, my "sniper" reference is strictly about bidding on E-bay.  Many wins with my best leaving 2 seconds on the clock.  Gunbroker's 15 minute rule precludes me from exercising the balance of keen timing and fast fingers on their auctions.

My inner Curious George will keep me up all night.     No hazing the simian jokes please.

I knew what you were referring to, your probably the one who beat me out of some flea-bay treasures.
    I had a bid on a gun on GB once and was high bidder, it was down to about 5min. and I thought I would raise my bid to be safe, and like a dummy forgot the 15min rule.
Had to sweat out another 15min. but got it anyway.

Good Mornin' all.  Everyone sleep well?

First post here today and the wait begins.  Hoping we see the prize and this is indeed some fun!

[kjtrains]

The suspense!  Does keep the interest up.
