The man, the firm and the blog to watch in 2009.
It's Pat Lamb, his Chicago-based firm Valorem and In Search of Perfect Client Service, his well-regarded and enduring blog. Together they give us all we may ever need on (a) leadership, (b) law firm models that work and (c) the art of the client at the Terrible Crossroads of 2008/2009. We all face recovering economies, changing markets, new markets, new governments, and new ideas on economic growth, monetary policy and regulation. Watch Lamb closely. We don't agree on everything. But if anyone can make value billing work, and the Billable Hour go away, it's Pat. And then on to the next Dragon.

Keith Richards is 65.
NPR: "Let me repeat that: Keith Richards is 65."
It happened on the 18th. But what's the real news story here? That it finally happened (i.e., boomers are now officially old)? Or that Richards, who "cannot be killed by conventional weapons", is still alive?
