Many thanks to David Giacalone for the beautiful gift of haiku here. David recently honored some of his fellow friends and bloggers by posting haiku for them, myself included. David describes himself as a “prematurely-retired (but no longer prematurely-gray) attorney and mediator, living in the Capital Region of New York State.” After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1976, he spent a dozen years emersed in antitrust law and competition policy at the Federal Trade Commission. He states: “In 1988, my first mid-life crisis took me from Washington, D.C., to a small city in Upstate New York, where I began a decade of practice centered in family court, mostly representing children and developing a divorce mediation practice.”
(Nestled in the middle of the array of haiku is one for the haiku president.)
