Just saw MJ circa 1990's outside Madame Tussauds in Vegas. I think it looked more life-like than the real MJ circa 2009 did. (Less plastic?)

MJ's Public Viewing@Neverland Ranch Fri. Not to be crass, but I'm more interested in viewing the property than the body. http://ping.fm/aygCB

Getting ready to celebrate my first Canada Day as a citizen. So much to learn aboot, and so little time, eh?

Exactly 12 years ago I entered into the deal of a lifetime.

My kids want to know why everyone on television is dying this week.

Now Billy Mays! What's the deal? It's like 50 is the new 90! I'm going for a jog and some health-food. I'm well-past my prime.

The irony of death is that it can often be more merciful than life.

Sometimes, you have to bounce off the bottom to get to the top.

Juvenile Hall was a moving experience. More significant than my average day's work. Investment in the future. To think, I almost didn't go.

In a nice glass plaza across the street from a high school. Bunch of teens dressed in Sunday's best. It's not prom. It's Juvenile Court.

Paying it forward.

Just found out tomorrow's Defendant is a 14-year-old. No pressure.

Got the funniest Father's Day card from my sister yesterday. Thanks Sis!

I'm not sure why 1st day of camp is so much harder for me than my kids, but I'm glad it's not the other way around.

"Dad" is my favorite verb.

It took an instant to become a father, and two lifetimes to be a dad.

My wife and I are the perfect couple: Without her, my diet has but one staple. Without me, TV has but one channel.

Nice evening with friends. Good community here.

My 4.5 YO just called me "annoying". I think she's ready for Kindergarten.

Dropped of a preschooler, picking up a kindergartener. (Same kid, in case you're worried.) Very proud of my daughter!

Can't sync straight.

Court 2x, testified 1x, flew 4x, schooled 1 judge, 1 DA, 1 cop, 2 attys & 12 jurors. Teaching 20 kids in my son's class was my high-point!

Emergency-sub'ing my son's class. ALL 3rd grade teachers out. District must be REALLY desperate!

At the intersection of analog and digital where my old CRT takes a permanent snow day, and the tube goes down the tube.

Watching my son's oral presentation on the art of prestidigitation followed by a live magic show!

There's always another opportunity to miss another opportunity.

Caught an early flight home! Warned my wife. :D

Back in Sac. Pulled all-nite'r. Found AWESOME evidence! DA dropped rebuttal this morning, sent forensic guy home on a jetplane. Luv my job!

Observing moment of silence 4 the 2 sparrows who died so my 737 could land on-time. Smells like KFC, so I'm keeping my mouth shut N E way.

Conformity and innovation cannot share the same space.

A second-chance is a loan--not a gift. When mature, dividends should be paid forward with interest.

I don't know if a female judge makes BETTER decisions. But, the Supreme Court is judge & jury. So it should represent the US demographic.

Gotta' jet.

Said good morning 2 the lady who picks my trash on Tuesday's. Got nice smile back. Middle class is shrinkng. Have 2 get 2 know my neighbors.

Obama just bought US 60% of a bankrupt car company. Ross Perot doesn't look so silly now, does he? OK, yes he does. Buy American! I want my money back.
