I Am Being Deposed Today, I went out trail jogging over lunch hour. Surprise--I saw another deer (a fawn with white spots). It dashed across the trail as I was hiking up the hill. I'm glad that I work near the water where it's cooler. Otherwise, it would be hard to exercise in the h-o-t weather (38º C.) that we have had the past 3 days.

Yesterday, I was at a big, fancy law firm in the city (San Francisco) preparing for my deposition. A deposition involves answering questions under oath like a court trial. But it takes place in an attorney's office, not in a court room. Normally, I represent clients who are being deposed. But this time, I'm the one who is being deposed (the case relates to a contract that I drafted). After the deposition preparation, I met J, an attorney who lived and practiced in HK for 9 years. He had many interesting tips to share, and I probably will follow up on some to see what legal jobs would be available to me in HK. According to J, HK has the following pros and cons:
Pros: Cosmopolitan city (more than Tokyo or San Francisco); comfortable lifestyle
Cons: Cyclical economy (boom or bust); health issues (pollution); crowded living conditions  ¶ 10:00 PM
