I spent last night on the computer, scanning cases on the LEXIS database for a brief I'm writing. Writing those searches using search terms like "w/15" is always fun,and yet a bit of a puzzle game as to which keywords will turn up which cases. My numerous deadlines seem to be managing themselves nicely, but I must be very productive today.

I will need this weekend, when it arrives, to hike and rest and recover. It's as though I'm planting seeds for a crop of some basic grain, and I hope I can find a flower or two in the sprouts someday.
