The Adventures of Scorpions and Frogs

Adventures in North Texas: Balancing Work and Family

In "Adverse Possession and Other Adventures through North Texas", I recount a day spent in Archer City, Texas, handling a long-awaited case. The experience was professionally fulfilling and served as a reminder of the importance of balancing work with family time. Engaging in imaginative play with my children that evening highlighted the joy found in simple moments.

Timeless Lessons: The Scorpion and the Frog

Reflecting on the classic fable in "There Once Was a Scorpion Who Needed to Cross a River...", I emphasize the importance of recognizing inherent traits in others. This tale serves as a cautionary reminder to be discerning in our relationships, understanding that some behaviors are intrinsic and unchangeable.

Systemic Challenges: The Practice of Law

In "The Practice of Law Is Fundamentally Flawed...", I confront concerning statistics about issues within the legal profession, including high rates of substance abuse, depression, and anxiety among lawyers. This post reflects on the systemic challenges faced by legal professionals and the need for addressing these issues.

Gratitude for Friendship

Expressing gratitude in "Praise God for Great Friends", I share how the encouragement and support of a dear friend helped me overcome over-analysis and self-doubt. This highlights the value of friendship in navigating life's challenges.

Until our next hello,
