"Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely and in a pretty and well preserved body, BUT rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and LOUDLY proclaiming, WOW !! What a ride!

I'm a mom of 3 active boys and a crazy spoiled yellow lab, married to my soul-mate for more than 10 years. I am a full-time attorney with a focus in media law, advertising and cool promotions law, and technology (i.e., all things "Geek"). My professional bio is on our firm website at www.tlolawfirm.com. I am a "baby" Black Belt with the Tampa Bay/USF Karate Clubs (a JKA/WF organization). My boys are intermittently karate students, budding musicians, athletes and computer slugs. In my spare time ... as if I had any ... I like to train with the karate club (in between fractures), play the piano/flute, surf the 'net, window shop the latest nerdy gadgets and read.
