When you’ve been involved in blogtigation as I have been over on Big Bad Brad’s Blog* you need someone on your side.
You need an advocate, a comforter, a counselor, a keeper (those last three put together might make a good song phrase . . .).
When the time came for me to be aptly represented without hesitation I turned to none other than Josh Stump, Esq. Attorney at blog.
The negotiated terms for his competent representation are as follows: I will dedicate and devote a series of posts in honor of the aforementioned representative of moi.
Yes, campers, you read that last sentence correctly.
I will be paying my attorney fees with words about and in honor of Josh Stump, Esq.
I will extract a few morsels from my memory and will rely upon others to add, embellish, confuse, confound, and construct in the comments.
My earliest recollection of my esteemed attorney extends to a time when he was interning with a firm in Eugene, Oregon and he showed up to play a softball game with us on our church softball team.
Have you seen the movie Sandlot?
It’s harder than you might expect, showing up and playing on a sports team with a group of strangers.
We put him at third base (if I recall).
To say that he went 4 for 4 (2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 single) and made the game ending / winning out with a full on horizontal dive to the hole, snatching the 100 MPH line drive out of the air faster than Greg can pick up a new guitar at the GC would be somewhat of an exaggeration.
But unless you have proof, to otherwise refute this claim, it’s now in the official blog record and stands as called.

Them there * are fighting words. I thought you’d reached a compromise…

I knew Josh was a cool guy. I didn’t know he was the second coming of Mike Schmidt.

You should have “hired” Dee … she’s not as “expensive.”

Let’s just say that my top three sports are basketball, pop-a-shot and basketball in that order. Softball/baseball are right around 50th. What can I say, despite my American birth, my early years were spent in Canada where we played hockey and soccer, both on the ice. This much is true though, I did play third base that fateful night. I think my tryout consisted of coach Wray asking, “if I threw it to you would you catch it?” To which I responded, “yeah, probably.” “Then you are in the infield”, I was told. I played the hot corner like President Bush at a mensa meeting…i.e., a lot got by me. After someone “encouraged” me to get in front of the ball I stopped the next 4 balls hit with my chest, gut and thigh. I got home that night took off my shirt, shrieked in horror (like usual) and then noticed all the bruises and shrieked louder and immediately retired from softball. Ahhhh, the memories.
Also, Greg, you are spot on.
Randy, this will be the best fee I have ever charged.
