Judge leaves for two weeks.
A vacation well deserved.
Relax, bank the rest.
Needless to say, I breathed a sigh of relief — not because I would get a break from coming up with a daily haiku, those came so easily, writing them was far from a chore. The relief I felt was from the daily demands and stress of trying to stay ahead of the Simpson tsunami and spend much needed time and attention on the rest of my job.
