Always be wary of a skinny judge

Regrets have been received from the bench. Retired Judge Jim Clifford had hoped to participate in the annual Sevey Open, but undisclosed conflicts prevented his attendance. He did, however, indicate his desire to tee it up with classmates next year, so, Sevey, if you've started the list. . .

Looking slim and hearty in this post-retirement photo, Jim didn't send along much detail about his present activities, location, etc. But in his role as Gonzo Journalist for this blog, we expect new copy shortly, or whenever warranted.
