The arbor. Re-lit.
Libel
seminar
Good to have reënforced: Truth is always a defense
against libel or defamation claims.
"False
light" claims are a growing threat to journalists, however. Not
yet recognized as a valid claim in Ohio, but the lawsuits get filed
anyway.
And
when else could we more need good journalists ...
Than when government lawyers decide the president
is not bound by laws, the constitution, nor duly signed and enacted
treaties, but is perfectly free to go off and order people tortured
whenever he deems it necessary.

The front porch. Jeff started work this week on reshingling
and repairing a couple of the underlying boards that had rotted out.
A
Way in the World
V.S. Naipaul
I
had read this once before, (it conjures memories of lying on the front
deck of the Bayliner in Minnesota, propped up on flotation cushions
with the hatch open into the cabin), and was not impressed.
I
got a lot more out of it this time.

Spirea. As it was cut back a weekend ago. Out of
control, it deserved its decimation.
Subpoena-ed.
The justice system in all its majesty has chosen the
week of my honeymoon to try one of the guys they caught in April in
my recently carjacked car.

Trimmed. Not beautifully, perhaps, but trimmed.
Until
the iBook's hard drive stopped spinning correctly ...
It had been a good day, and not a bad weekend.
I
needed the time by myself, responsible only to me, so that whatever
it was that I did or failed to do, I wouldn't feel (if only for a
little while), that I had let someone down.
