Master Coach. North Star. Exalted Teacher. Consigliere.: The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Yes, "read the rule..." The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are remarkable and, well, amazing. They vibrate, hum and glow with the hard work of the few who have worked on them over the years. In your first year. Tenth year. Twentieth year. Fortieth year of practice. They are shorter and better (i.e., much easier to grasp) than any non-FRCP-based state counterparts. There are flaws and ambiguities--but precious few. You notice something different every time. You never take them for granted. Look. At. Them. Every. Time. Read the Advisory Committee Notes, too. They, too, are to the point--and lean. Start with the Rule. Read the Note. And Onward.

36 years. Period. Full stop.
Today July 12 is the 36th anniversary of my drink. It was at Kelly’s Irish Times on F Street.
Thank you Penny Hull, Valerie, Fritz, Larry, Bud and Rozann. Dad, I’m sorry I wrecked three cars. OK, four, arguably. Mom, you helped most, even though you washed my bong in the Kenmore for two summers.
No one is luckier than me. No one. I mean that.
I had the family. I had the friends.
