off to a slow start

My friends' first official court date (for the hearing, as opposed to other pre-hearing hoo ha) was today. They are in the midst of gaining primary custody of their daughter. Unfortunately a court date means little in family court, as the normal procedure is to completely overbook the judge's slate and reschedule all the cases that aren't heard. So we cut out of there after less than an hour. I'm back at work, waiting for my peeps to be ready to head out for lunch and catching up on the morning's events.
