Some Kansas Bar Convention Highlights
I’ve been busy traveling, going to meetings, or seeing my Dad and one of my law professor friends while here in Topeka. But it has been an eventful day or two so far. Some highlights:
- Hung out with Rodney, my Dad, who lives in Augusta, Kansas.
- Hung out with Myrl Duncan, one of my law professors from Back In The Day at Washburn Law School.
- Shook hands with keynote speaker, Kinky Friedman, writer, satirist, singer, former Texas governor candidate.
- Saw Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, often mentioned as a possible running mate for Sen. Barack Obama. She’s also quite babalicious.
- Had about the best tacos de carnitos ever at Pepe and Chelesea’s in Topeka.
- Saw the “Rev.” Fred Phelps and his band of anti-gay bigots protesting outside of Topeka High School, the site of the annual Bar Show. They have industrial strength metal protest signs that they can take on the road for their protests.
- Had a great seminar on closing statements and presenting a pie chart on damages in personal injury cases.
- The Bar Show features local dancing, singing, and acting lawyers. It is a tradition that goes back to 1936. It’s nice to see my colleagues step out of their sometimes stuffy roles as lawyers and judges.

Just trying to make the point that guys who have blogs think that readers care about said bloggers' everyday lives. Such ego. And yeah, PP often gives TMI about his home life.
Did you know that among the annoying pop-ups on this site is a "porn" one? Ick.

Actually, this post has been one of my better read ones. There's no accounting for taste.

Just checked back here to see if there were any more responses, and two more porn sites popped up. It's nauseating. Can't you do something about that?
