The Heat Is On

So the weather is starting to get hot, but at least we have the Miami Heat to cheer about. They won last night, and now will play in the Eastern Finals for the 4th straight year -- no mean feat. Wifey and D2 have become big fans. It's hard not to; Lebron is a once in a generation player, and he's terrific to watch, even if you're no basketball maven. D2 and her friend Tara have begun working at the firm. Tara just graduated FSU, and will start law school this Fall -- either FSU, where she's on the waiting list, or FIU. D2 is biding some time and making a few bucks before she starts an internship with a cruise line. It's great to have them here. Since they're the boss's daughter and friend, they get taken to lunch each day. Tara is an eager student of the law business, and I always like to share tales of the biz. Yesterday we went to lunch with John and crazy Joel -- and the girls loved it. They were greeted by some scowls by the other staff when they returned -- so I softened the enmity a bit by bringing the non boss's daughter and friend staff some frozen yogurt. Last night we watched the Heat game, and D2's friend pretty Carly came over. She just graduated UF, and is heading to NYC with no apartment and no job. But she wants to be a talent agent, and has some contacts. I told her I was proud of her, and how great a place in life she is: no kids or spouse -- just herself and her future. Heady times for Carly, these... At the office yesterday, there was some humorous drama. One of the lawyers and his wife are leaving, and Joel went in to discuss the terms of their separation. The wife, who I'll call Candace, since that's her name, found Joel's approach rather objectionable, it seemed. So she lit into him with a string of language that raised D2 and Tara's eyebrows. I think they were genuinely surprised that lawyers could call another member of the bar a "motherfucking douchebag." Joel will, somehow, get over the insult. And in our longstanding discussion of "WHWW" or, "Who Has Worst Wife", well, young Justin shot into first place, and looks like he will be champion for a long time. Just like the Miami Heat.
