John Lescroart - The Second Chair

When searching thru Sandra's library, I found an author that I had never read.  His writing is along the same line as John Grisham and this was an excellent lawyer mystery.  I liked his writing because the characters he created were believable and dealt with many different emotions - not only with their client, but also in their own lives.  I have often wondered if most defense attorneys just "go thru the motions" of defending their clients and don't believe that they are innocent.  How many times have innocent people been convicted due to "circumstantial" evidence?  And, how many people have been freed because of ruthless defense attorneys?  The plot seemed to thicken with every turn of a page.  

I'm looking forward to reading more of his books (Sandra has at least 3 or 4 more).

    Sounds like you found another great author! I'm amazed at the knowledge of the judicial system authors like Lescroart and Grisham must possess. They are able to tell great stories.

    Awesome job on the blog! :)

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
