Learning to Labor and Louis Lamour

Don't worry, Casson decided not to apply for the army. The interview was very enlightening: it was obvious that despite the excitement of travelling and "being a part of it all", the likelihood of having to go on several 15 month assignments without being able to take along your family is just too much. Three months was what we had in mind, and that would be hard enough. He did have his first day in court on Thursday, all on his own. Basically it ended up that the judge rescheduled the hearing because the other side wanted to make some changes to their defense. Casson said it was still pretty fun to stand in front of the judge and speak for his client. He's doing a lot at the firm that he enjoys. We both really like our jobs and are learning more than could be learned in school. I just pray that his job will lighten up a bit as far as the feeling of extreme pressure. Sidenote: I wonder what ever happened to all those Louis Lamour books that used to be in the upstairs den at my parents house? I always figured they were worthless and cheezy westerns. But recently we rented an audio book "Mohave Crossing" and "The Sixth Shotgun" and listened to them while driving across the desert. If its not the best writing in the world, its nowhere near the worst. Both stories were perfectly told and we laughed throughout both of them, especially at the endings, which sound almost like punchlines. Conclusion: Louis Lamour westerns make for great listening on road trips.
