What’s blooming in my 9B backyard this morning. 9/23/25. Turks Cap, Okra, Four O’Clocks, Garlic Chives, Barbados Cherry, and Daisy Jane.

A good court reporter makes trial so much more tolerable. This one gives out chocolate at breaks. Truly doing the Lord’s work out here.

Just learned that @HorizonBCBSNJ only covers Paxlovid if you haven't filled a prescription for it in 180 days. My wife, who had COVID in early September, just got COVID again and is being told she needs to pay $1400 for a prescription. What is the justification for this??

I’m the weirdo who loved studying for and taking the LSAT. I love the rules and puzzles part of law. It’s the people part of lawyering that I find so exhausting.
