Burnt Orange Report

Some Attention for BOR

By Vince Leibowitz

Though I haven't posted here as much as I would have liked over the past couple of months (can you believe I let work get in the way of blogging?), I did want to let everyone to know to "watch out," for the Fort Worth Star Telegram this weekend.

I received a call earlier this week from a reporter in the paper's Austin Bureau, asking me about a post I'd made here a while back on State Rep. Bob Griggs. It seems the paper is doing a "report card/profile" on Griggs, and it is expected to run Sunday or later depending upon when it was finished.

At any rate, hopefully summer will be a little bit slower time--the past couple of weeks I've been buried in Lexis/Nexus searches, the Code of Criminal Procedure (actually O'Conner's Criminal Codes Plus) and the various and sundry things one must do when one works for a law firm--and I should be back with my regular musings.

In the meantime, I think I remember something about Byron graduating today, which probably explains the lack of posting today. If, in fact Byron or anyone passed up a day of revelry and posted on the day of their college graduation, I'd be totally shocked.

So, congrats to Byron (and everyone else graduating from anywhere this weekend, for that matter).
