Closing out a good 2014, looking forward to a good 2015.
In addition to various community and family activities, I was re-elected with more than 96% of the vote against a write-in candidate, I successfully tried another murder case, made progress on a new novel, wrote book reviews for The Seattle Times, and continued my Zen Lawyer column for the Tacoma Pierce County Bar News.
The first chapter of Zen Lawyer, published in March/April 2014, was an introduction with a Zen story about life and luck, “Maybe.” The sixth chapter, which will be published in January/February 2015, features a Zen story about anger and gratitude, “Heaven and Hell.“
