[The Mayor]

Thank you Kathy! Sunny and 73 today!! Spring has arrived.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home.

[SandRat]

She’s a real hand full.

A sweet heart.

She now waves Good Bye and if told to give one of her stuffed animal toys a squeeze hug she hugs in a very loving way.

The morning commute was fairly smooth - door to door in under an hour. The evening commute was proceeding in starts and fits - I left the office at 7:15 and made it to the Maryland State Line at 8:02. Turning onto Colesville Road I was confronted with night-time road work that had 4 travel lanes down to one with no escape. I finally extricated myself and made my way home, but the damage had been done. An hour and forty-five minutes - I hit the door at 9:05 p.m.

The circle-**** at the office continues. We had to stand down for a half-hour or so because the wizards in IT had no documents batched up for us.

We picked back up at 5:00 p.m. and I proceeded to churn out docs for two hours. At about 6:50 p.m., ten minutes before I had to clock off (10.0 hr. max.), I was in the 302nd doc of a 304 doc batch when I saw that my doc was part of a 13 doc family of which only two were in my batch. In other words, they screwed up the batch and mingled it with docs from another batch.

The significance of this is that docs are supposed to be batched by families - that is, one doc, such as an email or letter with its attachments. This is because if one doc in a family is subject to Attorney-Client Privilege, all docs in the family must be coded as privileged and the entire family is then re-batched with other priv docs and assigned to a priv-team reviewer for further review. If the docs aren't batched correctly, privileged docs will be produced to the other side, and since we are in Federal Court, the rule is that if you release a doc that is privileged, you waive the privilege not only for that document, but for all other like documents and for the issue which is contained in those docs.

Very serious if you're facing indictment for securities fraud or some similar crime. Sorry to bore you with all this - you now know more about Attorney-Client Privilege that the high-paid Ivy League associates who putatively "supervise" us.

I'm feeling better now - a nice dinner with Mrs. MacNessa and a Robert Mondavi Cabernet have gone a long way to soothing the bete-sauvage in me!

Happy Beltaine!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness.....the right and left hands seem to be having issues. And their problem makes big issues for those doing the actual work.

Hope they have it “fixed” upon your return in the morning.

Safe commutes each way.

73!

Spring has sprung!

She’s growing out of the baby baby stage...becoming a little person.

And then opinionated. LOL!!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

Thanks, Uncle Jack, for your service to our country.

[laplata]

Thank you, Conor. And as always, thanks for the fine job you do honoring our troops.

[laplata]

(((HUGS))) to you, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

laplata...((HUGS))...how has this week been treating you?

Recall going well? Hope! Hope!

Last couple nights have stayed above freezing! Yippee! I can see half the front yard grass now.

[laplata]

Hi Kathy!

All is well, thanks.The recall is moving along.

I just can’t get over how fast the time flies.

Enjoy the spring weather.

I’ve been meaning to ask you if you were in Anchorage during the big quake in 1964.

[Kathy in Alaska]

The city had to thaw one of the drains at our corner because the whole intersection and street in all 4 directions was flooded.

I washed the cars once to get winter off them, but will not wash them again until the melting is done. I hate getting dirty just driving home from the car wash. d:o)

I didn’t come up here til spring 1983. Plenty of quakes since then, but none nearly as big.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

[Kathy in Alaska]
