Brian Krashpad

I recently did 2 weeks-- was on meds. Glad to be done with that sh*t. 😏

Zoinks, 40 trees! Saturday morning I watched footie. Also, worked on a "Verified Amended Motion For Relief From Judgment And For Partial Rescission Of Marital Settlement Agreement, Or In The Alternative To Enforce Agreement Against Former Husband’s Estate," which I completed and sent to the client Sunday morning. Saturday night I went to dinner with the missus and a couple of her friends, then missus and I went to see daughter in a play on the UF campus. Well, not really a full play, but what's apparently referred to as a "reading." So, there is acting and some simple costuming, but the lines are not all memorized, and there are no sets or staging. It was "Shakespeare in the Park presents: The Sea Voyage by John Fletcher and Phillip Massinger." I have a good photo of the cast after, but it's on my phone still, so this shot of the performance will hafta do. That's my daughter peering over the chair, haha! Sunday, more footie on TV, and drafted a "Respondent’s Answer And Affirmative Defenses To Petition For Dissolution Of Marriage & Other Relief, & Counterpetition For Partition," and sent it. That afternoon, mowed most of the back yard with a push mower. Had some dinner, stayed up and watched John Oliver on HBO and crashed.

Good onya. I did weeks ago, by mail obviously.

When meself and Mrs. Krashpad went last Spring Break, we went to The Iridium, where Les Paul used to play regularly.

Oh my land. Schmexy. WOULD.

Oh you'd be surprised. Being a church musician is very often a weekly, ongoing battle (which if course, is pretty much the opposite of what a spiritual experience should be). There are some denominations with very specific rules, like no electric instruments, or no leads, or no drums. The places I have played were not that bad, but there were always a batch of very conservative members who were rather unreasonable and opposed to any sort of modern music. To the point where they would choose to go to the contemporary service, and then b*tch about it, rather than just attend the traditional service also offered. Did I mention the band were all unpaid volunteers (except the director)? Because that.

Here's my TV.

Thanks. I am keeping busy with work, bands, and a magazine column. I previously had a weekly church gig that I really enjoyed, but a new pastor came in and basically fired everyone. An old friend at a different church (that I attended and played at many years ago) has invited me over there, but I haven't had the chance to get there yet. However, in the meantime, my punk rock band now has a song called "I Got Fired From Church." So there's that.

Then my work here is done. 😉 " Thanks for taking the time to explain things!" Sure, no worries.

Well, I could, but I'd have to send you a bill. 😉 Actually, as you might guess, I'm a lawyer. I have a purely legal research and consultation practice. My clients are other lawyers, for whom I do research and writing. This allows me to work from home, on my own schedule, and not have to do things like go to court or wear suits, or have to deal in person with judges, layperson clients, or opposing counsel. All of which is perfectly fine by me. I have a couple potential appeals pending, for a couple different clients. In one, my client represents the appellant, who is taking the appeal, because she disagrees with a temporary relief order entered by the trial court. The issues surrounding getting a stay (which would keep the trial court from enforcing the temporary order, while the appeal of that order is pending) are pretty complicated, but despite our attempts to explain them, unfortunately the client convinced herself that she needed a for us to request a stay, and basically insisted on it. So I drafted a Motion for Stay. It'll probably be denied, which we also explained. In the other appeal my client represents the appellee (the party who won at trial). Although the client won at trial, essentially the trial court judge gave that client more than he was entitled to, and entered a judgment that, in my opinion, will probably be reversed. I doubt that there's anything I can do to change that, so at this point we're discussing whether it'll even be worthwhile to put in an appearance in the appeal. Both these cases are pretty complicated.

Thanks. At this point my mantra is "every day above ground is a good day." I could easily be 8 years dead,

The latter. Nine years or so ago I had radiation therapy for throat cancer, which in turn has more recently caused ORN, osteoradionecrosis, in my jaw. The lower jaw on the affected side has already been rebuilt, but now the upper jaw is deteriorating.

Spent 2 hours in the below hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Six. More. Dives. Tried unsuccessfully to talk a client out of filing a Motion for Stay Pending Appeal, drafted same. Reviewed docs in another pending appeal, that indicate a reversal is probable, which is not the desired result. But hey I can't fix everything. Watched footie in the afternoon. The Man City-West Ham makeup game, and parts of a couple Europa League matches.

Married since '87.

Here are my P-90 axes.

I have one Studio, a clownburst doublecut. Fun guitar. Simple but effective.
