Yesterday afternoon I had a hearing in Federal District Court in Atlanta facing me in which the attorney for the other side was trying to convince the judge to sanction me, possibly by fines or worse. I had called a local attorney friend of mine who had counselled me on making a claim on my malpractice insurance. I had taken the extra course of calling a lawyer friend in Gainesville, Florida to check on the reputation of the two attorneys with which I had been associated.
Meanwhile, Patti showed me an article on msn talking about several lenders which were either going out of business or down-sizing their operations. I spoke to a client to question him about a closing someone was trying to do on a house in Atlanta and he knew nothing about it. I anticipated a lot of expenses in the next few days to get Kate ensconced in school and my in laws happy and in their new house. A lot of stormy skies. No fun.
Now, I find that the hearing in Atlanta is cancelled, the case is resolved and I am scheduled to receive $6000.00 in payment of my fees and expenses. A story on NBC showed that Bank of America is enfusing cash into Countrywide Home Loans to keep them afloat. There is still an outside chance that the closing may happen and one of my clients brought a check for $500 for two new cases. Bring out the bands; start the weekend parade!
The word for today on my antique word calendar is "feague". What that means is the practice of inserting ginger or a live eel in the butt of a horse to make him appear lively. I can only hope that this good feeling is not a feague. I guess I better check my orifices.
