Dear Reader:

I know this blog has been looking like this computer screen: blank. 2009 has been a challenging year. I wore my trial lawyer hat the entire month of January and I’ve been playing catch up ever since.

I’m happy to say I’m back in the blogosphere. Thanks for being patient. I look forward to continuing the discussion with you on civility and negotiation strategies and dispute resolution through mediation. We’ll be talking about mediation advocacy in the weeks to come.
