apathy, no, I'm not a lawyer. However, they do run in the family. One sibling, couple of cousins, some uncles, but not me. In fact one cousin gave up the profession and went on to become a teacher in Pinehurst, Idaho about twenty years ago. (He's recently retired.)
We never understood why he quit either. He had a nice pratice (divorce and family law), a great place in San Francisco, and was making a buttload of money. He suddenly moved to Pinehurst, bought a nice place where he could keep horses, became a High School English teacher and spent his spare time fly fishing and bow hunting (He's in the Polk and Young club several times.)
Now he writes articles for a travel magazine on how to travel on a budget. (writing runs in the family too.) He did one article on traveling the Outlaw Trail on horseback, one on Europe on a rail pass and one on camping in Hawaii.
Between all the traveling he does and spending all that time wading in a trout stream or standing in a tree stand waiting for an elk or bear I'll never understand how he could give up the good life of the three martini lunch, the San Francisco apartment and the six figure income.
As if turning his back on his profession and the city life weren't bad enough he became a conservative too!! We don't like to talk about him because he's pretty whacked out.
