As I write this column in December in the midst of the holiday
season, my thoughts turn to family, friends, colleagues and the
imminent new year. Running and playing piano also have a prominent
role.
My 30-something-year-old daughter Kate enthusiastically re-engaged
in recreational and fitness running and signed me up for the
Festivus 5K in Salem, held on Dec. 9. Kate and I traversed the
lovely waterside course, and she beat me handily, of course, as I
plodded along at a slightly under 12-minute mile pace. You can look
up my time online if you wish.
The Massachusetts Bar Association last month launched My
Bar Access, an online community exclusive the MBA member
that replaces the Section/Division portion of the MBA website. The
growing number of members who have taken simple steps to set up
profiles and use the online community have shared positive
feedback.

It was a particularly poignant session of Norfolk County
Veteran's Treatment Court on Tuesday, November 13 for the
defendants appearing in front of the Hon. Mary Hogan Sullivan at
Dedham District Court. Just two days following the observance of
Veterans Day, these men were there as part of their weekly mandated
appearances, but also received recognition for their service,
thanks to Sullivan.
