Mary, Mary, why you buggin'?

Lots of "old friends" that I haven't heard from much in the past year have e-mailed me in the past two weeks to say, "Hey, how are you? I read that your firm laid off a million associates."

This is how lawyers operate. They thrive on the misery of others, especially other lawyers.

So, yeah, I was laid off. I am officially unemployed.

Last night when the wife got home from work, I had scrubbed the entire bathroom, cleaned the entire kitchen, and made lamb chops with spinach and potatoes. She thinks I was just being nice but really I was starting my campaign for the stay-at-home-husband job.

Today, I'm off to the nude beach to buy my season pass. Hello, summer of Fresh.
