Hello All: I know it's been a long time since I updated, but it has been a pretty quiet summer for us. Currently we're enduring the highest temperatures I have ever experienced in my life. At this moment it is 105 degrees, and it feels like 109. Apparently. I wouldn't know, because I have not ventured outside the confines of this air-conditioned house since this morning. But it was 100 degrees at 11:30, when I came home from the gym. It's CRAZINESS!
I'm continuing to do some fascinating work with Legal Aid of Northwest Texas and Human Rights Initiative. I stay busy. I am representing a young man who is seeking asylum in the United States, and his trial is coming up in September. I'm excited and nervous, and above all grateful that I believe in the work I'm doing. It's certainly not making me rich, but I enjoy every moment of it. It's easy to forget that sometimes. I have to make an effort each day to reflect and count my blessings.
