Joseph K Cheats Death

So I almost died yesterday. Or almost became an invalid. If you saw what remained of my car, you'd think I was starring in the sequel to "Unbreakable." It's a long story that I'll tell in my next post.

There were actually -- to me -- some funny parts to the story. But, what's been happening this morning takes the proverbial cake. Since about 7:30 this morning I have gotten 5 telephone calls from shady law firms trying to cash in on what happened (apparently they came across information about the accident on some sort of database). I have to say they are very creative. They basically traffic in vagueness. One smooth guy claimed to be "an investigator from D.C." Another woman botched her schpiel by asking for "Ms. K." After about three questions (unfortunately for them, I am a lawyer and more work involves investigations), they all eventually revealed that they were representatives from bottomfeeder law firms trying to get in on the action arising out of the accident that nearly ended my life.

Nevertheless, it's been giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I mean these firms have called 5 times. My parents have only called twice since it happened. Clearly, my extended law firm family loves me more.
