I don’t feel so good this morning (or is it afternoon already? – don’t know because the shades in my office are drawn). So please excuse the following rambling thoughts. I’m not myself today. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Well, it’s the day after my annual Groundhog’s Day party when several hundred of my closest friends join me in the pagan ritual of worshipping the great marmot. Bill Murray would have been proud. Unfortunately, I don’t have any drama to report from this year’s event. Interestingly, while feeling “under the weather” from imbibing in too much “Momma’s Milk” (a/k/a Maker’s Mark), I developed some really weird thoughts that I feel compelled to share or blurt. Follow me if you care to.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Would A&E green light my idea for a new reality t.v. show entitled “The Green Pimp /or Madam.” (working title – gender to be determined at casting) where we follow the trials and tribulations of an ecologically sensitive pimp or madam while working her/his stable of male / female prostitutes? (that’s as politically correct as you can get for such a topic). With homage to Mr. T, a classic Green Pimp catchphrase would be “reduce your carbon footprint or I’m gonna put a footprint on your face.” You know that has huge merchandizing possibilities. Too long for a baseball cap but will fit nicely on a t-shirt. (This is not your kinder, gentler pimp as reflected in HBO’s Reno Nevada-based The Bunny Ranch – we are going for edgy – think Heidi Fleiss meets Governor Rick Scott). Watch for my email with an investment opportunity via crowd funding. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Why do I get so irritated when I see a really nice car (at least one nicer than mine) with a handicapped parking decal parked in a handicapped parking space at Publix. I know it isn’t right but I’m always highly suspicious of whether the driver is actually handicapped (a much heightened level of scrutiny if you will) – as if a handicapped person couldn’t own and drive something other than a 1997 Chevy conversion van. God help me but I have my issues.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>If you have to send an unsolicited email to all of your family, friends, acquaintances and hundreds of folks who don’t know you requesting that they vote for you to be selected a Super Lawyer or Rising Star, are you really deserving of such? To me, a true Super Lawyer or Rising Star in construction law is one that has made the commitment and invested the time to attend the CLC’s monthly meetings, the CLI’s annual event in Orlando and has become a Board Certified Construction Attorney (nice plug!?). No matter how many newsletters you send, AVVO ads you place, radio spots you purchase, business publications you embellish your firm size in, you are not, in my book at least, a true construction lawyer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>This Monday's speaker is our old friend Ed Kinberg with Kinberg & Associates, LLC in Melbourne, Florida. Ed will present on the Office of the Federal Contractor Compliance and Policy which overseas / enforces labor practices issues. I don’t think that this group has authority over the Green Pimp’s business affairs but that’s a good question for Ed. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Please make every effort to join us this Monday, February 11th at 11:30 a.m..
