...was Saturday. I'm mortified to have missed the event and hereby make amends for my unconscionable oversight. However, I believe that I've aptly expressed my appreciation for the little critters over the years. Here's a snapshot of the flower pot outside our house in Georgia on a typical day last summer.
The invasion quickly escalated into a full Occupy Casa Paulette Movement, as evidenced from this view of our back yard.
Of course, we may have been partly to blame for encouraging them.
My realtor, a savvy local conservative, saw what we were encouraging in the back yard and warned us that Georgia squirrels are Democrats. They'd soon feel entitled to the food, housing and quality of life to which they'd become accustomed and expect us to continue paying for their leisure long after we'd moved away.
The difference between squirrels and Democrats, of course, is that squirrels are really cute.

Law jokes may be a bit funnier to me than to most, but WSJ's Law Blog posted a few resolutions which I thought worthy of sharing.
BigLaw Partner: Spend more time with the family. This year I mean it.
BigLaw Associate: Save more. Bill more.
The SEC: Stop bringing cases in the Southern District.
Justice Department: Get the bankers before the statute of limitations runs out.
Supreme Court: Keep cameras out of the court, knock out a few opinions by July.
Plaintiffs Lawyer: Stop settling so often.
ABA: Spend more time with law schools.
In-house counsel: Avoid the word "billable."
President Obama: Remember to get Justice Kennedy a present.
My own new year's resolutions pertain to spiritual exercises a la St. Ignatius and finding the perfect kim chi. If anyone can suggest superior goals, I'm all ears.

I visited Montana a few months ago and was struck by the scenic beauty, but I seem to have missed one local treasure: a recreation of the Shire from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
There are fans ... and then there are fans.
