Letter from St. Augustine
I’m just a plainspoken Colorado criminal defense lawyer, but the way I see it…
A criminology researcher who lectures at the University of the West Indies writes to tell me that the catchy name of my newsletter and blog is also the name of a famous calypso number in Trinidad and Tobago.
I knew I’d heard the words “drunk & disorderly” murmured somewhere else in my unexpectedly long life, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard them spoken with so much fun.
It’s so damn happy I thought it would make a nice holy days treat to share with all of you.
Here it is, with thanks to Dr. Wendell Wallace, who when he’s not hitting the clubs is also deputy dean at the university.

Sounds a bit like Harry Belafonte.

Recently caught a story on TV about a late night host taking a trip to NZ. Meeting with your PM and hanging out on set with Peter Jackson. My wife got to NZ in 1999 for several weeks but I had to fly home from Australia to take care of a injured pet. She raves about your country’s natural beauty and wishes she could be given an ambassadorship. LOL

Greetings to All from way down under in New Zealand –
Very best wishes for a wonderful 2021, success for the people from your new presidential Administration in the USA (it has to be grossly better), and a continued (relatively) Covid-free paradise we down here call ‘God’s Own’.

Thank you for this bright spot from Newport WA as the second foot of snow is falling on New Year’s Eve. Thanks for your thoughts.
