Well, it’s an election year again this year, and some campaigns have already started slinging mud at their opponents. While this is a longstanding American tradition, apparently, we’re not alone. Emmanuel Macron, president of France, is expected to run for re-election. In recent months, messages have multiplied on social media claiming that Macron’s wife, Brigitte, […]
Last fall, the Chicago Bears announced that the team signed a purchase agreement for Arlington Park, a suburb about 30 miles northwest of the Windy City. The team had been trying to renegotiate its lease with the city for their longtime home at Soldier Field, which expires in 2033. If the two sides can’t agree […]
My buddies and I began playing softball in the Kimberly Recreation Association in 1992. Sponsored by our office, the Legal Eagles were considered the Atlanta Braves of the KRA – while we made multiple appearances in the championship game during the 1990s, we were only able to come away with one title in 1995. Despite […]
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, most judge’s decisions are relatively dry. But once again, a judge’s recent ruling is anything but boring. Judge Robert Leonard issued a holding last month to help parents during the busy, stressful holiday season. Leonard, Superior Court Judge for Cobb County, Georgia, which is located about 20 miles […]
The last time we had recess when I was in school was in 6th grade. I loved recess. Some of the girls played hopscotch or jumped rope. Some of the boys played tag or catch. But the rest of the 6th graders played one massive game of dodgeball. We would play with as many rubber […]
This spring my son wanted to play a sport. He tried tennis, but after a few practices, he decided it wasn’t his thing. His buddy then suggested he give lacrosse a try. When he came home from his first practice, I asked him how it went. He replied, “You get to run around and hit […]
Last week I wrote about a bill introduced by Democratic legislators that would propose to expand the Supreme Court from 9 justices to 13. While this seems like an unprecedented move, it is certainly not the first time the number of justices on the Supreme Court fluctuated. While many people assume the number of justices […]
As I’m writing this article, the Brewers are currently tied for first place in their division with the Cincinnati Reds. I’m trying not to get my hopes up because it’s only April, but as they say on TV, if the season were to end today, we’d be in the playoffs. On opening day, the Brewers, […]
As I previously mentioned, despite being very careful, our family got hit with COVID. While I still have a lingering cough, we came out of everything pretty unscathed. Unfortunately, not everyone was as lucky as us. Over 30 million Americans have been infected with COVID so far, and millions of them have lingering health issues, […]
The leaves have fallen, the temperature has dropped, and the days have grown short. It is once again Thanksgiving. We know that this year’s Thanksgiving is going to look a lot different than years past. We now need to think about things like social distancing, face masks, and hand sanitizer. This year’s holidays also present […]
