Ron,

You should come to San Jose,Ca sometime.

The entire city was designed by a former Kleenex box architect.

Like totally uninspiring.

And after all that…we settled in a spot with no oil!

Oh it’s not a 40 day trial! It’s like three days. I already won most of it on summary judgment, you sil’!

Now, 40 years in the desert… that’s an experience!

And please forgive me if I’m being brash here, but….

Maybe after you’ve spent, say, 40 days there in the desert, you’ll have some new insights!

I feel your pain.

That being said, it might not be God. And it might not be coincidence.

Back when I was involved in patent litigation with our #1 competitor (who was based in southern California), most of our cases somehow ended up in court a few miles from our headquarters in PA. And ALWAYS in January or February.

And every ‘neutral location’ case with them ended up in our #2 competitor’s city of Chicago. And always in January or February.

Maybe it was an act of God. Maybe not.
