So …<\/p>\n
There are still a lot of attorney buddies around here that I haven’t yet seen …<\/p>\n
Or had the chance to toss out an ‘hola<\/i>‘.<\/p>\n
Though earlier today I was making my way back from court when I saw one of the attorneys in our circle of attorney friends …<\/p>\n
A really kewl, funny guy that went to law school with Shaft and I.<\/p>\n
In the past we’ve …<\/p>\n
Hung out,<\/p>\n
Golfed,<\/p>\n
And mocked people.<\/p>\n
Though in all fairness, he really didn’t do much of the mocking, that’s sort of my area of practice.<\/p>\n
I’d seen him numerous times before I returned to my home court a few weeks ago,<\/p>\n
Having ridden up the elevator with him in our parking garage more than once.<\/p>\n
He never recognized me.<\/p>\n
Anyways,<\/p>\n
Last week he called Shaft after hearing the news and expressed his support …<\/p>\n
Along with some good tidings and all,<\/p>\n
Which was totally nice to hear.<\/p>\n
So today …<\/p>\n
When I saw him approaching me on the sidewalk,<\/p>\n
I figured I’d make sure he recognized me …<\/p>\n
“Hey !<\/i>” I tossed his way, flashing the patented Amy-smile.<\/p>\n
“Hi,<\/i>” he responded with his own, even more friendly, big smile. However, he clearly had that look of non-recognition.<\/p>\n
“Hey !<\/i>” I said again with considerably more more emphasis on the “H<\/i>” and staring him down while I prolonged the “eyyyyyyy<\/i>“.<\/p>\n
“HiiiiiIIIIIIIIIII !<\/i>” He stuttered out, finally realizing who in the dork I was and expanding his friendly smile even more.<\/p>\n
So we chatted briefly there on the sidewalk, where he reaffirmed his support and stated he was glad I was staying around …<\/p>\n
And I gave him some grief for failing to recognize me the past few months when we ran into each other.<\/p>\n
Of course, he deferred fault by asserting that I don’t look anything like I did before and gave me some nice compliments along the way.<\/p>\n
Then as we were parting so he could make his way to court,<\/p>\n
