Call in sick with a headache, hope the judge has a sense of humor or you maybe in contempt of court and rooming with Rufus for a few days. That wouldn't be healthy.
Keep up the good (and underpaid) work. BTW, did anyone ever tell you that you bear a similar resemblance to a former SNL player. Can't remember which one. Jane Curtain? Eddie Murphy?
Caj; It sounds like you have full plate. You know everybody here on the Forum is praying for you & yours. There are fish in the water & birds in the air & deer in the fields just waiting for you.
