I've only been dumpster diving once and that was to retrieve a final,
printed version of an appellate brief we had to file with the 9th
Circuit the next day. Somehow I managed to overwrite the finished
brief on my computer and the boss and I spent some time in the office
dumpster with a flashlight trying to find all the pages. He's a
native Hebrew speaker and I don't think he was calling me anything
complimentary as he rummaged around in that dumpster.

Yet another reason why we keep scotch whisky in one of the filing
cabinets.

OB: I have a big pot of spaghetti sauce in the crockpot, which I will
turn into lasagna for the DH's birthday dinner next Sunday. Spaghetti
sauce is just one of those things that needs to age a bit to really
hit the "high notes."
