Well friends, tomorrow I leave for trial. Most of the rest of the team is already there. I managed to push my arrival as late as possible but I can't delay any longer. There is little that induces more dread and anxiety in me than having to be on a trial team for weeks at … Continue reading The Eve Of Things
