So great to hear from you! Thank you f...Ambimb!!! So great to hear from you! Thank you for your comments about Sean's case--it is something I'm proud of, even if I hate how the being charged with the crime affected his life. But Karen's book is a nice validation, I guess, in the sea of shit that I had to wade through. I have to admit that there were some dark days when I thought things would never get better--I'd lost so many things, I thought. My job, my career, my purpose, etc. But, with the help of my parents and the teamsters, I kept fighting. And I got my job back. And I got back pay. And Karen's book came out. Finally, finally, the dark days are over.carol dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093990237072086425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039151065677223586.post-89653500829865263422013-04-15T23:23:05.475-07:002013-04-15T23:23:05.475-07:00Thanks, Miranda--and sorry about the intermittent ...Thanks, Miranda--and sorry about the intermittent reinforcement. Sometimes I can't even believe all of the crazy stuff that has happened. I want to write again, but sometimes it takes me a while--ahem, a couple of years--to figure out what I want to say. In the meantime, Karen's book is great--she's perceptive, and a great writer and person. Again, thanks for hanging in there--I've got a crazy story to tell--some of it is our story and some of it is mine, but it'll start insisting on coming out soon.carol dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093990237072086425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039151065677223586.post-19107658387820030952013-04-15T07:16:23.647-07:002013-04-15T07:16:23.647-07:00After reading the first two chapters I'm blown...After reading the first two chapters I'm blown away and admire you more than ever. Your standoff with the judge in the Replogle case was amazing! Sure, if you would have gone forward Nd lost he *might* have won on appeal, but by that time how many years in prison would he have done? That kind of representation is a true inspiration!<br /><br />I only wish you were able to keep up the Revolution — it's needed now more than ever — but I understand why you've been so quiet here, too. Many of my PD friends don't even want to think about the big picture of our work bc they are worn out by the day-to-day of what we do, even though we work in one of the best jurisdictions in the country for PD quality of life. <br /><br />Anyway, best to you, keep up the good work, and update us when you can!ambimbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039151065677223586.post-75298868196084609052013-04-15T05:30:06.155-07:002013-04-15T05:30:06.155-07:00I had quit checking the blog for a while after you...I had quit checking the blog for a while after you finished the book series, so i was surprised when I checked in today to find you'd posted - and almost a month ago! Thanks for posting about the book. Mirandanoreply@blogger.com
