What are you doing this summer?

[Larry Reese]

Hmmmm...

This summer I've been handling some minor legal matters for various friends and acquaintances while looking for a full-time position, and taking care of my daughter (she is now three, as of the 6th) who some of you may recall was born early (at 27 weeks and 1 day, after 4 weeks with no amniotic fluid). She still has a weakened immune system and so cannot go to play school safely and I've been taking care of her along with her "nanny." We went to the mountains in New Mexico where my family has a cabin at 8800 feet - wonderful. If I could, I'd live there I think.

I've also been doing things around the house (repairing cracks and holes, doing some painting, installing a reverse osmosis system with a connection to the ice maker too, installing fans, repairing an heirloom rocking chair,etc...) and working on our cars. In particular, my GTO appears to have a bad engine control computer that will have to be replaced and then the entire care retuned. Money and time I can ill afford at the moment.

Ive also been writing on several book projects, some I've been working on on-and-off for several years, others that are new. Also working on a legal web site in the event I decide I have to try and go full time as a solo practitioner (not my first choice in the Houston economy and lawyer saturation level). Oh, also trying to get my health issues under control too. Unfortunately, I cannot report at this time any such good works and volunteer efforts as the others here - and respect them all the more for their being able to work that into their lives.

Also, we are now expecting another baby. Should be in March I believe. LOL, now I REALLY need a full time job.
