BLOG No. 4 ~ GARY L. WOLFSTONE :: "T'is A Soft Day"

Gary L. Wolfstone

A Forward Scout in the Wilderness of the Legal Profession

WELCOME TO GARY WOLFSTONE'S BLOG ~ For most trial lawyers, the place of true passions and true values resides in the past memories of courtroom victories which he or she conjures up to enliven the present. Against the day-to-day boredom of his office practice, the trial lawyer resurrects and reenacts his conquests with a confident smile and gesture of his hand. Suddenly, the trial lawyer and his audience are electrified ~ another captive audience must suffer the narration with a forced smile.

   Speaking for myself, however, there are few pleasures in this life greater than waking up and finding a familiar landscape covered with snow. My windows on the seventh floor of the Queensborough ~ facing the city with a western view ~ give me a panoramic view of Seattle and Puget Sound. A gentle snow and mist are coming down, and this scene enlivens my present and electrifies my spirit. T'is a soft day, and I am richly blessed!

   Yesterday's headlines shouted: "Megastorm Coming to Seattle." The forecast was for ten inches of snow, but the reality is three or four inches of snow flurries. What you want and what you get may be two different things. People-watching is, nonetheless, a wonderful past-time when Seattle is struggling to cope with a gentle snow fall. The city has slowed to a crawl ~ the maritime "half distance rule" has become the norm. Sea-going vessels slow to a speed that enables them to stop within one half the distance of their visibility; city traffic instinctively moves by the same standard in a snow storm. The snow will eventually melt, but for now my city is a winter wonderland. The blemish and pock marks of dirty walls and streets will eventually return, but today is a time to celebrate a fresh snow fall.
