Thanks Jim, your signature looks similar to mine and my name is Douglas Casement; HaHa. My son says mine looks like the infinity symbol...??

On occasion when I think of your surname I am reminded of a fellow who was the Head of Facilities (responsible for everything to do with maintenance of everything from lawns and sidewalks to the football stadium and dorms) at Kansas State University back when I was riding my dinosaur to calculus classes. His name was Case Bonebrake. I try to imagine what kind of life you would have had during your school years if your name had been Case Casement.
Did a bit of Google searching and discovered Mr. Bonebrake is still on this Earth and not in it. He is 96 years young and went skydiving a couple of years ago just for the heck of it.
I've done the expert witness thing a couple of times. It's kind of interesting except for the 7th grade shenanigans of the Attorneys. Depositions are a pain because they are like unchecked 7th graders with college level speaking and writing skills.
Judges are like Attorneys who have grown up and they expect some decorum in their Courtroom so therefore the Attorneys are forced to act adult like for a while plus the initial questioning is by your side. Court testimony or report writing is by far the preferable mode for helping Judges decide cases. If you get depo'd try not to choke the life out of the little twit, uh I mean the opposing Attorney.
Actually I did have a deposition from an attorney once who didn't have that kind of pinched evil nerd aura about him, that guy was okay, he had pointed and difficult questions but he was polite and professional about it.
[SARCASM]You are not doing a good job unless you get the opposing attorney so red faced, eyes bulging and at the point of exploding and/or passing out from anguish or stroke.[/SARCASM]
