sunny

kara and i spent about 6 hours today working together on some legal transcription. three kids testified, as did their mother, regarding a domestic violence situation. kara's boss is defending the husband, and he seems to have a decent case. the kids, aged 8, 6, and 6, were obviously coached prior to their testimonies, and not very thoroughly, and their mother showed herself to be not quite the brightest bulb. but it was fun for us, listening to the testimony and getting it all on paper (or, rather, the computer monitor). and it'll mean another couple hundred bucks for us, probably. a day pretty well spent.

and after that, we took a little walk in the evening and then watched the recent film about the little sparrow, edith piaf, la vie en rose, which i thought was quite good. the actress playing piaf as an adult, who i believe won an oscar for her performance, was indeed wonderful.

anyway. it's about 8 pm now, which totally means bedtime for us. i work tomorrow, and kara has to spend time working on the final for her current course at kaplan. other than that, not too much is going on here today. the cats are a little lonely upstairs and the dogs are generally well behaved. it's been a warm and sunny day in tacoma.
