As I was pulling together a little history for the book I paused to check my blog stats. Thank you all for visiting. I’ve had over 1000 visitors this month for the first time ever and I still have a day and a half to go. I hope you are not all lawyers looking for information to justify a libel suit.
While I was at it I copied all the July posts together and put them on a word document for future reference and to keep my chronologies straight. While I may be a little less communicative about behind the scenes goings on for a couple months my book, when published, will be right up to the minute. According to my word counter I’m only 209 words shy of 50,000 for the month. Throw in my rebuttal of Dr. Doty and I’m half way to a hundred grand. That’s better than half a book by itself.
I just got the word that all our attorney’s materials are ready for me to pick up to hand over to a new attorney. Several are clamoring to have a look at them. Mr. Hunter, bless his soul, has spent a couple days scrupulously excising anything from them that came from School Board member Gary Glass per Judge Hylden’s instructions. Of course, there was nothing in those communications that the Judge took to be of a confidential or privileged nature but excise them Mr. Hunter did.
Our brief conversation, consisting mostly of apologies on Mr. Hunter’s part, made it plain that until this case is settled we probably won’t so much as wave hello to each other if we pass on the street. The School District’s attorney Ms. Torgerson helpfully explained to the Trib’s Education reporter for her story yesterday that if she waved at me a lighting bolt would issue forth from the US Supreme Court’s statue of the Contemplation of Justice and strike her dead.
It must be true because when I saw her huddled with all the other School Board members at a previous hearing and asked if Member Glass ought not be included I thought her head might pop off. That’s justice for you.
She’s pretty ferocious looking. Don’t you agree?
