Been kinda just hanging out since I got out of court Tuesday.  It wasn’t a big trial for anyone except the participants, and technically it was a trial de novo of a prior administrative hearing that I wasn’t even involved in.  Not pleasant though, and very draining. 

Cross-examining children about what their dog had done and whether it was legally vicious.  Legal arguments about whether this case was about the total life of the dog (apparantly a devotee of the Philosophy of Lassie who helps ADHD children cope and loves everyone) or the one permanently scarring incident that left a 9-year-old boy with 22 stitches trying to reattach the dangling remains of his upper lip. 

And now, waiting for a decision.  It might have been mailed yesterday.  It might not come down for a couple of weeks.  Either way the matter’s out of my hands, but still dragging me down.
