We think we have the problem under control now

The Curmudgeon has been unusually cranky in the past few days, even by his standards. However, we have him heavily sedated and and we hope to get him back doing some of his long-pending legal work soon. If he behaves, we may even let him blog again.

Right now, I don't think we even want him commenting on other people's blogs.

I have tried to ascertain why he is in such a funk. As near as I can tell (and he does ramble a bit, as you readers have noticed... and, saaaaaaaaay, it's contagious, isn't it?) the problem seems to be that it's the 9th of November and

• The November rent isn't paid;
• The November mortgage isn't paid;
• The malpractice premium (due November 1) isn't paid; and, also
• There's money in the Client Fund Account which would alleviate these various problems but he can't yet disburse funds.

And there was something this morning about a lien on a settlement that isn't a lien at all but a subro claim... but the carrier is so far refusing to cut checks. He wasn't very clear on any of this -- he's really in something of a state.

We do however hope to resume regular programming as soon as possible.
