MY REFRIGERATOR MAGNET-AN HOMAGE---

  • My new, lovely parting gift for all parties.

TO THE MASTER-JUDGE KAYE TERTZAG

  • Judge Kaye Tertzag is one of my heroes. One of the first facilitators, he would give out these refrigerator magnets at his hearings. Though the Judge died in 2009, I still have this magnet on my refrigerator 10 years later. Judge Tertzag and I did not agree on some very big political issues, but he was the professional embodiment of his 3Ps: Be Prompt, Be Prepared, Be Polite.

Detroit GT


  • Detroit GT is the website of artist Christopher Gorski. A lifetime Detroiter and certified "Car nut", he studied at the premiere College of Art and Design in Detroit - the Center for Creative Studies (CCS). One hand drawn shirt in high school has grown into a full line of apparel and merchandise celebrating Detroit and other uniquely Michigan locales.

    His Detroit Landmark graphic art pieces are remarkable. Some are shown below, and I have 8 of them framed on my office walls (see blog post).

    The prints can be purchased through the site or at my favorite store, Art Is In Market in Laurel Park Place in Livonia.

NEW CATEGORY: AAA-APHORISMS OF AGING ATTORNEYS PART I

Old lawyer

This new category will be for short quotes from  various attorneys of my acquaintance, including me, acquired over my misspent career.  Attribution may be withheld if I feel discretion so dictates.

"All part of life's rich tapestry."--Mike Butler (spoken ironically).

"Another great day for Anglo-American jurisprudence."--also Mike Butler. (also spoken ironically).

"Butler, your continued employment at this firm is irrefutable proof that these offices are not bugged."--Martin Fealk, attorney, former co-worker at Bernstein & Bernstein.
