Actually, Tony, it was the NCAA Track and Fields Championship, and, yes, I went by there. I had time to kill before the 3:00 Hearing, so I took a drive in the rain down memory lane. My dad had an apartment on 24th St for awhile, so that was one of my drivebys.

Here it is a month later and we have not gotten the attorney hired. My idiot brother has made special demands of the upscale highrise downtown law firm, and that has delayed things.

My hateful stepsister is blaming it on me, saying I am bickering, when I have pretended to agree with everything my idiot brother has suggested, just to move it along and prevent bickering.

Speaking of hateful stepsister, she lives in a downtown highrise, three blocks from the Courthouse, and refused to go take care of the Hearing, forcing a 900-mile for me, more for my brother, who appeared to be there solely for the purpose of derailing my efforts. Hateful stepsister has refused to let hire an attorney for us, until now, until we have to, until the Judge and the County Attorney told us to.

My other stepsister is being very understanding, she being able to see what the problem is. For six years others have refused to do anything, dumping it all on me, and then when I do something they do everything they can to criticize and undo it.

If it weren't for the fact that this will soon be over, one way or the other, I would not be doing it now. But, I could not live with myself if I had not done what I knew had to be done, despite the distractions, which I knew would be there.

As of the last hour, idiot brother claims to have put the retainer in the mail to the attorney, but I believe he is still demanding the attorney accept idiot brother's version of the attorney fee agreement.

The clock is ticking. The PO is planning to report a probation violation cuz jerk has not paid the full balance, but we have not made our demand, legally, for it. Probation ends 8/23, and then if jerk disappears, well, oh well, more to blame on me, I guess.

Speaking of handling estates, since I took care of Dad's, idiot brother agreed he would do Mom's. When the time came, he declined, so I did it as Co-executor with a bank trust officer. There was also an attorney for the Estate.

I submitted decisions that had to be made to my brother by email, and he never answered them.

He hired a lawyer.

At the final Hearing for Mom's Estate, my brother showed up and protested (a 2000-mile trip for him). The judge told him had been kept informed and he was not timely in his objections.
