Mother's Day

James had his last day of catechism for the school year, and we all went to church together at noon, and brought up the gifts before communion, so it was nice. Most of the people at church know my face because I've been a cantor there for eight or nine years, but they don't know that I'm a lawyer or that I'm running for judge. I'm mildly amused at how surprised people often are that I'm an attorney. One person actually said, "But you're so nice!" Perhaps being pleasant and a competent attorney are mutually exclusive.
