The Smoking Mouse

As some of you know, the severe storms that blew through the area one week ago today knocked out my desktop computer (with most of my critical business records) at the exact moment that my new law practice is busier than ever. I've been digging myself out from under that mess for the last week, so I haven't been keeping up with the weblog. Today I caught up on posting, and they are all in reverse order, so please read all the way down to the first post for today.
