As I sit here — as I have sat here nearly half a day now — trying to decide what to write for what I last year called “The Obligatory End-of-Year Post,” I find myself overwhelmed.

There’s an old story about The Tortoise & The Hare.
This isn’t it.
This is a story about different kinds of attorneys and why I’m not that.

Lest anyone think this post is a criticism of that judge, it is not. One day, I think it’s even possible that judge will become a fine judge. The judge is just a product of zeitgeist and has not yet thought clear of it.
