I'm done with court for the day, but have to be back again at 8:00 am. I'm hoping to be done by tomorrow afternoon, but ultimately, that's not up to me. BTD is traveling to a court appearance he has somewhere tomorrow.

Since I haven't been online today, I have nothing to report. I'm heading out to dinner, so here's an open thread, all topics welcome.

Another day, another court. Another evening, another flight. And tomorrow, another day in a different court. I've never had three court hearings in 3 different jurisdictions on 3 consecutive days before. Suffice it to say, I hope I never have to do this again.

This is an Open Thread.

I still haven't seen any news today outside of the courtroom. And I'm determined to watch the finale of the Bachelor (even though it's been the most boring season ever and it's been known who Jake will pick forever), "After the Final Rose" and "24." I have to be back in court at 8am, so I'm unlikely to catch up tonight about things of greater import.

BTD is traveling, here's another open thread for those of you online. What happened today?

Update: The oral arguments in (Enron's) Jeff Skilling's case. Sounds like he has a shot on the jury issue. Has Alito ever sided with the defense? [More...]

Court and then back on a plane this evening for me. I think Jeralyn is swamped as well.

Talk to you tomorrow.

This is an Open Thread.

I'm getting on a plane again. You're on your own until Jeralyn gets back.

This is an Open Thread.

Update (Jeralyn): It's going to be a while before I can blog today, I've got a big brief due tomorrow. I hope you all will carry on without us for a bit.

There's snowboarding tonight on the Winter Olympics.

Condolences to Marie Osmond and her family. Her 18 year old son Michael Blosil died in LA last night. There are unconfirmed reports he jumped from his apartment building. He had long suffered from depression.

The tsunami warning for Hawaii has been lifted. The death toll in Chile has passed 200. The only remaining warnings are in Russia and Japan.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

More curling at the Olympics. Jeralyn has the hammer now for posting the rest of the day.

This is an Open Thread.

Update 5:30 MT (Jeralyn): Just got back from court, I'll check the news and if anything happened, I'll be posting tonight, and have an open thread. Thanks, BTD!

Our morning open thread is full, BTD and I are still busy at our respective day jobs. Here's another open thread, all topics welcome.

Very busy today for me.

Health summit ongoing. Have no idea what is happening.

Open thread.

Congrats to the TL kid who just got a not guilty verdict for a client on all charges in a domestic violence case. He's so excited, the jury came back a few minutes ago. His client testified and said he acted in self-defense.

American Idol showcases the 12 male finalists tonight. Tomorrow night, the results are announced. And, the Olympics are ongoing. Lindsay Vonn broke her finger today.

I'm writing a brief tonight, so this is an open thread, all topics welcome.

Via Kevin Drum, I took this Millenials Quiz. My score was 11, which apparently just barely keeps me out of being a Greatest Generational. In reality, I am barely a Baby Boomer, on the other side.

I think it is because I don't Facebook, Twitter or IM and I don't have tattoos. But I haven't figured it out yet.

This is an Open Thread.

In the Olympics, the curling action continues.
