news of the day [email to Pito]

This past Monday was the latest round in my DUI matter.  I hope that it's an auspicious start to my career, since I pulled one out that really exceeded my expectations.  I was pretty sure that my client wasn't going to show up, since he hadn't been answering my calls or replying to my emails, so I had some worries about what was gonna happen at the hearing.  But even without him being there, I got him the best outcome possible.  I did a good job of talking it up with the DA and was proactive by finding the office of another DA in a judge's chambers in another part of the building.  So I was happy about that.  The next listing is not until March, but this past date has, I think, put us over the hump.

So I plan on celebrating some Christmas this Sunday, and you should come by if you're able to.  Movies and holiday cookies will be in abundance.

This week has been busy with holiday parties and other stuff.  This past Monday night we had our holiday party for Hudson, and some coworkers and I got a chance to get a photo with A.J. Feeley, the Eagles QB.  David Akers, the kicker, was also there; as he was walking out of the bar, I yelled to him to "beat the Saints!"  I'm sure he really appreciated that.

I'm getting toward the end of the autobiography of Miles Davis, and so I just bought "The Age of Reason" by Jean-Paul Sartre with the gift card that you gave me -- thanks!  I also picked up a great cd: Ozomatli, a Latin fusion group from L.A.  The cd I picked up beat out Amigos Invisibles for Latin Grammy for best alternative album back in 2005, I think.

Anyway, that's about all for now.  Hope you're having a good week before the holiday.  See ya!
