Resisting temptation

mojosmomI stopped by the Petsmart on my way home from work to pick up some litter. They are smart! They keep it right by the cages where the cats are that are up for adoption. Just trying to lure those suckers in. There were two 12-week-old kittens, one a grey tabby and the other black with a little white on his chest, all snuggled up together. They were so cute! Of course, I had to stop and coo, and the tabby, sensing admiration, woke up and came over and practically climbed up the glass. Then one of the people who worked there came by and said, "would you like to see him? I can take him out." I had to get out of there, fast! The two I have are about all that I can handle.
When I got home, I came in the front to get the mail. Marva's sunroom window looks out over the entrance, and she said, "hi" and we got to chatting. And who came by but my former across-the-hall neighbor, out for a walk with her baby (who will be one in October, gosh, time flies!). Such a cutie! And surprisingly blond - Jennifer and her husband are both brunettes. It was really nice to see her again. She looks great - just as skinny as she was before the baby.
I'm off work tomorrow. Well, I'm not going into the office. I'm going downtown to a seminar on DNA. Here's hoping some of it will sink in. The program is right across from the Civic Opera House, so I can go exchange my Iphigénie in Tauride ticket during lunch. (I'll be at a Public Defender Association seminar that Friday/Saturday.) And I can stop at Dick Blick's on the way home and see if they have any mending tissue. The one in Wheaton didn't, but they are a lot smaller than the one downtown. If they don't, well, good excuse to go to Pearl.
I got a call from IICLE (Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education). A few years back, I co-authored a chapter in their practice handbook, Defending Ilinois Criminal Cases. They are now doing a supplement, and I have agreed to update that chapter. Three years worth of U.S. Supreme Court cases on criminal and habeas law. The things I say "yes" to! Actually, it's good for me to do it for a variety of reasons, even if it is due in early January.
