fRyeday Recap for January 9th

A lot to cover in this fRyeday summary, so let's get to it!

(1) Two new clients to announce:
- Naughty Nightwear and Fantasies has switched their legal representation from Goldstein and Silverstein to Panini & Rye (sorry, Wendell and Marty, you had your shot). I haven't done as much real "lawyerin'" as I'd like, so I'll be handling this account exclusively, and look forward to defending Miss Tawnee's interests.
- The Brothers and Sisters of the Earth Sharing Foundation has retained Panini & Rye in its fight against Golem county polluters. Roger and I agree that Vic would provide exemplary skill and zeal in this fight.

(2) Roger, I love your sense of humor, but I'm a bit worried that some people might take seriously your descriptions of your Montreal ordeal. This firm has suffered plenty from people misunderstanding the truth, so let's take care what we people hear.

(3) I love the idea of sharing stories about Roger. The first time I met Roger was when I was in law school and his dad, Ross Neff, was one of my professors. Great times, learning at the feet of the master. One summer day, I was preparing to clean the Neff swimming pool when Roger, who couldn't have been more than ten or so and was swimming, decided that he wasn't coming out. I ordered and begged and bargained with him but to no avail. Finally, "the old man's" voice boomed out, "Get your butt out of the pool, you little twit!" Roger stared at the house then at me, then he got a weird look on his face. I could tell he was urinating in the pool. Oh, I was angry, but in retrospect it shows he had that lawyer's spirit—even when you lose a fight, make sure you take some kind of victory with you. He's peed in many a pool since, and I mean that in the best way possible.

(4) Out of consideration for Angie, could we please refrain from discussing the conflict in Gaza around the break room table? Thanks.
