Quote from: Cillaliz on August 28, 2014, 01:03:23 PMJust finished two more individual interviews. So, I've talked to 5 different commission members, 3 lawyers and 2 lay people. (there are a total of 10) I was impressed with both of the lay people on the commission. They are new to it and are taking it very seriously. I actually think they asked better questions than the lawyers did and I know at least one of them contacted references. I"m looking forward to tomorrow. I'm glad the interviews continue to go well.MORE VIBES FOR TOMORROW!!!

Rehearsal was really fun, and then Lanny and I had lunch with our contractor Joe Soldo. This guy is amazing - in his mid-80s with more energy than five people half his age. Plays tennis every morning at eight. Great stories today, of Sinatra, Manilow, Streisand - all of whom Joe has worked for as contractor and/or player.
And here is a photo from last night's rehearsal.....Banjo enters chases Miss Preen around the couch and finally catches her....Sheridan Whiteside seems somewhat amused. I am wearing my jacket and beret....in one pocket is a bicycle horn and in the other pocket is Hedy Lamarr's brassiere....I am the fat one on the left.

One thing I've been meaning to ask DR Cillaliz, but keep forgetting, is: I thought judges in Iowa were elected, not appointed. Not sure of how it works there, or how your process fits into things.

They're not blase' about their appointed duties.
Thanks for the vibes. I can really use them. I'm afraid this month has caught up with me and I'm really tired. I'm staying home tonight and resting even though it's the last baseball game of the season. I went out for an early dinner with Paul and plan to just relax
Another nice day in DC. 86 degrees but low humidity. It's going to get much warmer over the next few days, but I'll be shuffling off to Buffalo, where I understand it will be much cooler (but rainy).
