When you have seven bill hearings scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, being snowbound for two days helps you get your testimony finished ahead of time.

Normally, I’m fine tuning my written statement the morning of the hearing. After perfecting my opening sentence (“Hit them in the forehead with a 2×4,” I tell my students.), I rewrite it for my oral testimony. (“Never read your written statement.”)

With snow again in the forecast, whether my witnesses will be able to make it on Wednesday is up in the air.

On my “tourist libel” bill, I’m counting on having three lawyers at my side who know the issue better than I do. So I may do some extra studying tomorrow night.

Tonight’s floor session was canceled, but I drove to Annapolis anyway. I had run out of chicken salad at home.

Hardly any members or staffers around today. “There was nobody there to get anything done with,” lamented one of the latter at the Rite Aid this evening.
