So far so good...

My mediation schedule is filling, I'm working with great lawyers on fun cases, and we're getting things settled.  Yesterday, everyone walked out smiling.  Smiling!!  It was a real win-win deal--how cool is that!  Then at night, I met with lawyers on the brink of trial and I'm waiting to hear today whether we can get that one resolved.  I have only a few others that haven't settled---YET!  I absolutely hate to give up and continue to check in with everyone by phone.  Meantime, Thursday, Holly and I drove to Champaign where I met with 20 wonderful representatives from the Chinese Ministry of Justice.  I gave a 2 hour presentation.  Every sentence had to be translated but everyone was laughing and having a great time.  They gave Holly and me beautiful presents and invited us to visit.  I loved it.  Notice to lawyers and judges all around the world:  If you invite me, I will come!!!!
