"Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. (Luke 21:34)

Things are tough in D.C.

What is a lawyer to do?

Q: I'm getting custom shirts made, and I'm considering getting a monogram sewn on either the chest or the cuff. I got the idea from a couple of other guys who wear monogrammed shirts in our law office. I think they look sharp. But two women in the office whom I trust say that monograms are really something that our dads wore. (I am 37.) By the way, I don't normally wear sunglasses and other clothes with designer initials like LV or GG on them. What do you think I should do?
