Blogging will be sporadic, at best. The demands of private law practice at times do rear their ugly head. I'll be practicing in four different areas of law today - fun for the entire jurisprudential family. Throw a nonprofit meeting on top of that, and you've got a full day.

But as a quick aside, before I head out the door to court, I would be remiss in not noting that the passing of President Reagan is finally settling in. The truth is that sadness is not what the Gipper would have wanted. Reagan's trademark eternal optimisim requires otherwise.

People grieve and will view the procession of the next week in a variety of ways through a myriad of emotional perspectives. At least on Friday, I will likely shed a tear or two for the physical loss of a great man. But his spirit lives on through all of us who believe in the power of freedom and the ultimate triumph of those who are free. He defined my generation, greatly influenced those before, and will forever have touched those to come. When you think about it, it's hard not to be joyous. Ronald Reagan was given his time on this earth, and made the absolute most of it. I am thankful.
