A Word To the Wise

When you have a custody issue and an elusive lawyer, and you are on the phone with his receptionist, do not EVER, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, begin sobbing into the phone. My first reaction is to hang up on you. Lucky for you, I realize the unprofessionalness of that, and will wait in silence for you to hang up first. There is absolutely nothing I can do to get him on the phone from where he is at his remote, out-of-service cabin, and, quite frankly, I am not even going to try.
