Parenthood So Far

October 31, 2012Will Truman 18 Comments

So far, mommy, baby, and daddy are doing well. I am not nearly as tired as I expected to be. That’s partly because we have a reasonably quiet baby. It’s also because a whole lot of the burden has been… Continue Reading →

October 31, 2012Burt Likko 6 Comments

From my little corner of California to Fresno, where I have work for a couple of days and where I may well have to try a long-cause jury trial in December, is a four-and-a-half hour drive up the Central Valley… Continue Reading →

Introducing Lain Truman

October 22, 2012Will Truman 15 Comments
