Osler's Razor

It occurs to me that as much as Razor readers get to enjoy the words of the Celebrity Luvr's, they may want a more complete picture (as I offered earlier this year in the profile of IPLawGuy). Here are some key facts:

1) Strangely, despite high intellects, they really do luv them some celebrities, and know way too much not only about people like Paris Hilton, but what what happened to the kids on "Alf."

2) They are Texans. You can probably tell by looking at them.

3) Mr. Celebrity Luvr employs and trains many Baylor students over at the federal courthouse. So far as I know, Mrs. CL has yet to accept a single Baylor intern.

4) A mastery of the haiku is not the only talent of this couple. They also have serious barbecuing skills, and the ability to both cut and dye hair. I don't know about the dye-job part, but Mr. CL did cut my hair once, and it was a disaster. Maybe he shouldn't have done it in the dark, or at the same time someone else was cutting, or after he had a few turkey-tinis.

5) Between them, they have something like 18 children.

6) Now that he is a federal judge, we don't see this any more, but Mr. CL was a wonderful trial attorney. As national counsel for Ford, he defended suits all over. I often run into other attorneys who have a story about him-- how he transformed a case, or made a complex thing seem simple for a jury. Now he gets to just watch people like me fumble around.

7) Because they are both tall and well-coordinated, the CL's are great dancers.
