Well we are back to living for weekends like most people I guess – we work during the week (Doug in his office and me at the gym and on the boat – I actually had a two day legal project this past week for a former client and it was a total blast. Gues…

With the passing of our 24 year old boat kitty and best friend, Boots, I haven’t really been in the sarcastic, funny mood I am usually in when writing a blog but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy or that we didn’t love the three days of cruising t…
