Thank you all for visiting. I&#8217;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. <\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m only 209 words shy of  50,000 for the month. Throw in my rebuttal of Dr. Doty and I&#8217;m half way to a hundred grand. That&#8217;s better than half a book by itself.<\/p>\n<p>I just got the word that all our attorney&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Our brief conversation, consisting mostly of apologies on Mr. Hunter&#8217;s part, made it plain that until this case is settled we probably won&#8217;t so much as wave hello to each other if we pass on the street. The School District&#8217;s attorney Ms. Torgerson helpfully explained to the Trib&#8217;s Education reporter for her story yesterday that if she waved at me a lighting bolt would issue forth from the US Supreme Court&#8217;s statue of the <em>Contemplation of Justice <\/em>and strike her dead. <\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s justice for you. <\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s pretty ferocious looking. Don&#8217;t you agree?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was pulling together a little history for the book I paused to check my blog stats. Thank you all for visiting.
