hello; 8 dec 2003, was the first time back into court in over a year. the opposing lawyers showed up, whined and cried about how they had not had time to prepare or review the case. the judge gave them yet another 60 continuance. so i spent yesterday going into chicago to have several cups of coffee, two donuts, and listen to far too many lawyers complain about how over worked they are. -- terry l. ridder ><>
