The Green River
The Green River winds through town and back behind our apartments. The footbridge Mr. H is standing on is a 10 minute walk from home. Along this stretch, the west side of the river is homes and the east side is a park. This stretch usually has 5 to 10 people fishing along the shores, look for the breaks in the briar patches. The day these pictures were taken, there were even people fishing from under the bridge.
David Deployed
Mom called last night to say that David had just been deployed again. This is his third deployment, Afghanistan and Iraq before, I suspect Iraq again this time. 🙁
God bless, David.
Schwag
This morning I attended a seminar on labor issues and current cases before the National Labor Relations Board. Yada Yada Yada Yawn. It was interesting, but not worth reporting on in a journal like this.
Of note however, was the schwag. As with all seminars and conferences there was an abundance of schwag provided by the law firm – some of it quite nice.
I’ll viciously protect my new pen, it’s weighted and fits my hand perfectly.
The obligotory stress balls were there, this time you also had the option of getting a stress penguin which I though was a nice touch.
Then the breathmints – also a step up from some of the cheap schwag I’ve seen in the past.
But by far the most notable was the chapstick. Yes – chapstick. I guess those lawyers need lubrication for their lips. Mmmm, minty.
