Timing

[heyzeus]

If we wind up in the wild card game, it'll happen while I'm in trial, ie, won't be able to watch.

So let's just win the whole [expletive] division, please, thanks in advance.

Just file a Motion to Continue.

As this Court knows, it was determined just last weekend that the New Orleans Saints will play in the National Football Conference Championship game -- the first such game [as the court very likely also knows] in the franchise's forty-year history -- against the Chicago Bears in Chicago, Illinois on January 21, 2007 at 2:30 p.m. In order to accommodate all fans, including the great majority of the jury pool, the parties involved in this case, and [last but not least] the counsel involved in this case, and in order to ensure that a full jury pool appears on the first day of trial, Defendants request that the beginning of trial be pushed back two days to January 24, 2007.

Can't for strategic purposes. I fully expect the other side will do that. It's a case that involves a bond closing, and they know that if they delay our trial date, we lose our ability to close on bonds before the deadline to do so.

A delay might mean missing out on more important games to follow.

I would tell the judge, " Boni judicis est judicium sine dilatione mandare executioni."

An alternative approach would be to tell the other side that if they delay this bonds case they will need Barry Bonds's body armor.

Precisely. Proposing your pending progeny predicting the preeminent prize, postponement proves a potential pernicious plan.

Unrelated but definitely a timing win for me this morning. A friend's band is playing at The Ready Room in The Grove on Saturday the 13th and I've got a few people going with me to support him. I've worked with him for over a decade and he's just a great guy who deserves a good crowd to support him at Five Feeler's 14th anniversary/reunion show. They have played The Pageant, Mississippi Nights, opened for Hagar at Riverport, Planet Hollywood and all the places that were big in the early 2000s. They broke up close to a decade ago though and just get back together from time to time when everyone's in a good place at the same time.

Anyway, I'm comitted to that and this morning a girl asked me if I wanted to go to the MMA fights at River City Casino that same night. Oh, sorry. Have plans. She just told her husband that she wanted a divorce two weeks ago tomorrow. Her husband is a recently turned pro-MMA fighter. She's actually been trying to get a fight for over a year but can't find anyone to fight her at 115. The point being that them and their entire circle of friends are into MMA and will likely be at the fights.

I'm sure he'll be there along with his circle of friends that just know his side of things. I don't want to be that guy there with her in that situation so I'm even more excited about the show than before.

Of course I'm still taking her to the Rams game on Sunday. Not sure how smart that is but whatever. I was drunk. Some other guy at the bar asked about her so I sent her a text and she met up with me and the next thing you know she's going to the game with me. I really need to stop drinking. That's how I got the tickets in the first place. I woke up the morning after the first preseason game and found a receipt for Rams tickets in my email. Oops. At least I bought the right seats. Some friends have season tickets in 452 seats 1-6, row PP. I got seats 4 and 5 in 452, row QQ and paid $33 each. Not bad for being drunk enough to not even remember buying them the next morning.

Going on a date w/ a MMA fighters not even ex-wife, and only 2 weeks after deciding to divorce is a terrible idea.
