Even though I grew up in Pittsburgh during the heyday of those four Superbowl wins, football leaves me pretty cold. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, I feel sorry for the Patriots for having a perfect season spoiled by the loss of what I am sure they considered the most important game.

I’ve obviously fallen behind in my reports on the appellate decision lately. I’ll be devoting the next several posts to catching up – unfortunately, with less detail than I would like. But I am back in the saddle again, so we’ll continue from here.
Fourteen years ago today, amidst a pouring rain, in a candlelight service where several of the candles refused to light, Steve Fey and I were married in the beautiful First Unitarian Church in Denver Colorado.

Steve has a blog, too.

While I was in Colorado enjoying my daughter's graduation from CU-Boulder, Adrienne Packer of the R-J had some kind words to say about this blog.
Ian Mylchreest at The Las Vegas Business Press also gave Appealing in Nevada a nice mention, but you'll have to pick up a copy to read that one. Check the Marketing column.
Now that the secret is out, I guess I'll have to try harder to make sense of those darn appellate opinions.
