Day 1

Met the lawyer at 2:00, went through the case information and my settlement proposal. He is (now, finally) very confident that we will do well tomorrow. He also feels that he "really knows the case, now" and understands the numbers. D'oh -- I guess sometimes these dudes need to be hit over the head with a 2x4! I am really disappointed in the legal profession.

Case prep was an hour...I expected two or three.

Haven't had a response from her or her lawyer. Makes me wonder if they even know that there is a meeting tomorrow. That would be rich.

It is cold and RAW -- raining, grey and 34 degrees with a stiff breeze. My skin is loving it, but it is cold!

I rented a nice room on the third floor of an old victorian house. The house where I am is located at the dge of the college, with some dorms and frat houses as neighbors.

Took a blissful nap in the rain and about to walk downtown for an early dinner. I'll try and get in bed early... I feel pretty relaxed and not really worried.

Its just mediation.
