On the Mark

I’ve got about one hour to come up with a Thanksgiving blog entry, while our two-year-old “gets her nap on” before the big holiday meal. If you’re expecting e-discovery today, you should probably push away from the keyboard now. The blog entry will be about some things I’m thankful for and hopefully some of those same things or others with similar impact on your lives will come out.

In speaking with my sister Laura yesterday (she’s a real writer) we joked about the now-familiar horror of sitting down at the keyboard and hoping for divine intervention in delivering an idea or some magic words that will thrill and entertain the reader.

“I will write no column before its time” the T-shirt reads. It’s one of her favorites. I am thankful for her.

I’m thankful to be working for such a good company and to be on a team that not only makes a great product but is a company that provides a platform to write about e-discovery and encourages the occasional post which is not about e-discovery.

Thanks Ramon. Thanks David.

I’m thankful to have a such a wonderful wife and wonderful family.

I’ve known my brother almost as long as he’s known me and in the near 49 years I’ve been alive, we have never had so much as a cross word. Ever. I am thankful for you, Michael.

I am thankful for the blessing of a daughter (Reichenbach V.1), who is a true gem, and another child who is not here yet but definitely on the way! (Reichenbach V.2 release date mid-June).

I’m thankful to be in a profession so full of interesting work and blessed with so much exciting opportunity. We should all be thankful for that, I’d say.

The baby is up, the family is arriving and those fantastic food smells are making their way up to my little office. The hour has run and though it sounds corny, I’m thankful to have colleagues who actually take a couple of minutes out of their day to read this stuff.  Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Thanksgiving.
