I can live with that. I’ve been called a lot worst. Son of a bitch might be a step-up for me.

Eglet Inc. has a new web site. Firm looks leaner. Seems Ham has leapfrogged Adams.

Artemus Ham's profile is an interesting read. I'm sure he would encourage Adam Laxalt to play up the same thing. Maybe Ham can make a firm with other generational Vegas attorneys and make a firm based on lineage.

How many firm names has Eglet had over the years? Wasn't he partners with Prince back in the day? Then it was Mainor and Cottle. Then Wall and Christiansen. And now, just him. The man definitely doesn't need any other named partners, so I appreciate if he wants to be the man with his name on the building.

Potential Names for the Generation Firm:

The Silver Spoons – "Sucking the Varnish Off Your Legacy."

Trust Fund Babies & Associates – "Our parents worked hard, so we don't have to."

I don't know Ham but I know Eglet well enough that if Ham wasn't pulling his weight he wouldn't have lasted this long.

Right. Brad Mainor was welcome for only two years following Randy's death.

I like it. Just like eggs and issues at the chamber.

I always saw semenza as an arrogant prick. I'm happy to see I made more than him this whole time. And I paid my taxes!

Looks like Boyd is struggling: http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/education/financial-stresses-challenge-unlv-law-school

Not sure how well the new Masters in Gaming Law program is going to be, seeing as the Maestro himself, Bob Faiss, passed on.
