Ah, you're a lawyer. Aren't you guys supposed to be like, heartless and soulless? [He keeps a straight face, but ends up laughing.] One of my best friends from home was a lawyer. A damn good one. She did need some empathy reminders sometimes.

Well .. I've had a few different jobs. I worked at a homeless shelter for teens for a long while, landed the job right out of college. Had to leave that due to .. uh, some circumstances outside of my control a few years ago. I've been a personal trainer since then. Actually I've been scouting out places to open a gym here. I found a place, finally .. gonna try to negotiate some terms and rent and all. My goal, if everything goes according to plan, is to open it up later in the month.

What kind of law did you practice? Hopefully not non-heartless kind.
