2006, July 30

The settlement conference went about as expected.  They had no intention of being at all reasonable and Peter and My hopes were totally dashed. I mean DESTROYED.  We are going all the way through trial whether we like it or not. Our attorneys of course feel very confident in our success but of course not so confident as to take the trial on contingency as of yet, and I'm sure never.

I tell you what I am exceptionally paranoid now about our future.  I was reviewing our case this morning and got to say that it still sounds very good so I shouldn't be as panicked as I am.  I just can't help but worry, that's a bad thing.  If anyone I should have enough examples of people rising out of the den of despair to greatness that I should not let this setback or possible setback worry me.  Kari, Jacob and I will be just fine.

I was talking to Monica today and she told me that her husband's identity was stolen and they lost everything.  They worked it out and got it all going again.  That is what we will do I am sure of it.  Anyway, it's not over yet.  Maybe we can use their arrogance against them?!
