    Run tings

    It nuh matta wah dem duh, wi run tings, tings nuh run wi. I run my things. I have work and I get it done. If I have to stay late at work, I stay late. If I have to put in the extra time to get a good result, I'll put in the extra time. There is no substitute for hard work. I pay attention to the details. Knowledge is power, so if I know the details, then I have power, rather than letting the devil in the details have power over me. Gimme a call if you're looking for a lawy
    Perfect Introduction

    Perfect Introduction

    Great song, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli. I love the tagline by Heineken: "You never know when you'll find your perfect match." Keep your eyes open, a goal may be scored at any time!

    Prayers for Mary Rose Trinidad

    I can't imagine the deep suffering of Mary Rose Trinidad, the 53 year-old woman whose husband and four daughters were killed in a car crash when a pick-up truck suddenly crossed the grass median and struck her family's minivan head-on. On that fateful day, Friday, July 6th, Ms. Trinidad began the day with her family, wrapping up their vacation to Ocean City, Maryland. By the end of the day, her husband and daughters, ages 20, 17, and 13 year-old twins, were dead. I share thi

    Venezuela

    Just a few brief thoughts on Venezuela, which seems to be in an economic free-fall as hyperinflation continues to devalue its national currency, the bolívar. Venezuela's minimum wage is now about the equivalent of $1 per month. How far could you stretch a dollar? The price of a cup of coffee is now up to 2,000,000 bolívars this week. As of today's currency exchange, that's nearly $17 (USD) for a cup of coffee. I've spoken with several Venezuelans, both in the U.S. and in Ca

    Keeping busy

    This morning I had two support conferences at Philadelphia Family Court for two different clients, and got good results in both. Now, I'm getting ready to head back to Court for a custody master's event early this afternoon, and of course I'm hoping for a good result on behalf of my client. It's been a busy day thus far, and looks to continue as such. I'll follow-up with other clients as best as I can later this afternoon and tomorrow.

    One in 7 billion

    Right now, at this very moment, there are over 7 billion human minds that are operating around the world. Literally, right now as you read this. It's like 7 billion computers that are constantly working, either actively conscious or in sleep mode, but never off. It's easy to get caught up in looking at the world through your own set of eyes, since that's our default setting. Or, put differently, it's hard to fully fathom that your thoughts, which are a product of your sens

    Wall-to-wall blue skies

    Today's looking like a great day weather-wise here in Philadelphia: wall-to-wall blue skies, low humidity, seasonably pretty warm but not overly hot. I hope you all have a great day today, enjoy it!

    Esfuerzos a los boricuas

    Last night I watched a program on PBS about the blackout in Puerto Rico and that the causes, broadly speaking, were two-fold: 1) natural -- as a result of Hurricane Maria, and the logistical challenges of relief due to Puerto Rico being an island; But also just as importantly 2) man-made -- as a result of a constellation of conditions: Puerto Rico's territorial status; aging infrastructure in Puerto Rico; policies by both domestic Puerto Rican governments and the U.S. federal
