As I hadn't blogged awhile (I'm no match for those who blog religiously) so I thought I'd just put down random events to let the world know I'm alive. For instance, I write this while in the spare room, both dogs with me as Carol has two monkey boys with her for the night. We "boys" enjoyed popcorn, TV and blocks earlier, so I had my time. Starbucks trip in the morning for choc milk cartons and donuts, yep, healthy breakfast for any grand kid. :-)
I was feeling pretty good about work the last few weeks; had some extra ordinary sucess locating and identifying some unscrupulous, low-life, scum-of-the-earth unlicensed contractors and filing case(s) on them or giving them citations, filed two felony cases on a licensed pool company who lost their license but had commited numerous criminal acts in the process, dealt successfully with two Armenian groups - one the victim one the perps (I didn't trust either), spent a long day in court to finally testify and win a case, had a week long Interview and Interrogation class - did well at that, but not as good as the guy on "Lie to me" TV show, received a positive email from one victim for my prompt solving of her case - later had her $2362 back in an envelope left for me with no return address on it, and scored my best golf round ever last weekend! . . then, a coworker who has been less productive than he should have been, gave his two week notice to quit. I was down to 8 active cases. (they are distributed evenly as the come in) I acquired 12 of his after they were divided up... I just don't understand the lack of work ethic of some people. Or is it me? Am I too driven? I felt like a blood hound yesterday, acquiring new information on two of these new cases while out of the office and just want them resolved.
On the plus side, I was asked today by an acquaintance for my phone number and suggested we play golf sometime. He said he thinks he would enjoy our time together. (this guy is battling cancer, we are similar in age, he was an USAF pilot) Some good news, Mark and I are already scheduled for Boulder Creek golf 2/17/11....11 AM tee time for $10 cheaper rate.

It really sounds like you have quite an exciting job, but 12 new cases sounds daunting. Thanks for the update. Good luck in the golf game.
You're making me want to go golfing! :) You should do a post about your interrogation class, it sounds so interesting!!

You need to re-retire!
