Up to whatever in alligators
No.
No, no, no.
Not that swamp.
The Legal Genealogist isn’t going anywhere near a comment about that swamp.
This is a different kind of swamp altogether.
It’s the week before the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy where I’m coordinating an advanced law course including a field trip to a law library.
It’s the week of a major update-upgrade in a website I’m monitoring.
It’s even the week of a deadline in a pay-the-bills-job project.
So I’m swamped.
And blog posts are just going to have to wait.
But rather than leave this space empty … here’s a swamp scene.
Keep your fingers crossed we all come out into a magical glade like this one.
Old military saying
“When one is up to their posterior in alligators, it can be difficult to remember that the original plan was to drain the swamp.”
I strongly suspect the word “posterior” was not used here… đŸ™‚
My very favorite saying of all time, although I didn’t know that it came from the military. And, no, Judy, I’ve never used it or seen it with the word “posterior” in it but I understand the need to be circumspect!!
đŸ™‚
Sending warm wishes and a bundle of energy your way. You’ll be out of the swamp ASAP. Cheers!
Thanks, Celia! Need all the good wishes I can get!
Thanks for a good laugh in an otherwise challenging week! and re Lawrence’s quote, I don’t think the word was posterior either (another smile).
With so many projects competing for attention, forget about alligators and mind the quicksand. Would love to be able to be at SLIG to hear you unlock the mysteries of the law library.
