Hi Scott! Our good friend, GC, told me that you had a Substack. Loved this article. I wish that I had had your concise words of wisdom a few years ago when my sons headed off to school. I look forward to reading Meandering Tour regularly! Oh - and I am still loving my Peloton! I hope retirement continues to treat you well.
Jennifer, Thanks for your kind note. I can still send you a few wallet cards; it's never too late. And I'm pleased to hear the Peloton is treating YOU well. Best, Scott
Scott!!! Oh my goodness how lucky I feel to have found your Substack. My oldest son is heading to college in a few short months so I’ve already sent your words of wisdom to him with a particular highlight on items #8 and the bonus suggestion. 💕. What a fascinating idea to send our kids out into the world with a handy reference card in case they forget any of the sage parenting advice they were surely listening to we’ve been doling out for the last 18 years. My husband and I may need to steal this concept from you - imitation is the finest form of flattery, right?
BTW, I was trying to explain to my son and husband how I knew you and how much I learned from you in a short amount of time at TRP and why they should listen to your advice and it brought back good memories. You really inspired me a ton and I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to see you in action wheeling and dealing doing what you do best - spinning stories and closing deals. I hope retirement is treating you well and keep writing! Best, Susan Foster-Garner
Oh my, Susan. What a lovely note. Thanks for your kind words. Steal away; I'd be honored. In fact, if you private message me your mailing address, I'll send you a stack of wallet cards. (Maybe I should open an online merch shop.) If you have any friends and family who might be interested in my Substack, they can subscribe FOR FREE here:
Excellent advice and analysis, Scott. How I wish my kids had the benefit of a father like you. Luckily, they had my Dad, who imparted similar wisdom. My son is following my life rules well, but a laminated wallet card would be a blessing.
I tell my kids (students) whenever the opportunity allows “no pills, no powders, no needles, don’t drive drunk or drive with anyone who does.” I think they mostly listen, unless I tell them not to get high before school. That’s a losing battle.
Footnotes reminded me too much of 30 years of reading cases so skipped. Glad I turned in my license upon retirement. Almost ashamed of my profession after seeing these big law firms cave to Trump. Keep up the good work. The research is amazing.
Thanks, John. I appreciate your ongoing encouragement. And yes, I had some PTSD when I was writing the notes. By the way, if you care to share my Substack with others -- for free, of course -- the best link is:

Wishing you well in these turbulent times,

This edition of Meandering Tour was very erudite
It made my good eye hurt (to quote Sammy Davis, Jr.)
Thanks, JC.

Donna, That's so touching. Appreciate the feedback. I'll put some wallet cards in the mail, if you give me your address offline.
I tell my kids (students) whenever the opportunity allows “no pills, no powders, no needles, don’t drive drunk or drive with anyone who does.” I think they mostly listen, unless I tell them not to get high before school. That’s a losing battle.
Yikes. At least you're holding the line on some fronts. Let me know if you need some wallet cards.
I'll take a wallet card and a laminated Alcohol and Drug Education sheet. I won't need them for a few more years, but they'll come in handy!
Done. Send me your mailing address offline.
Baby Theodore already has Meandering Tour's number ...
Testing again.
Are you somehow notified when I reply here?

I am in desperate need of some wallet cards😜, willing to treat for lunch for small quantity
Done. No lunch necessary, but would be pleased to meet you.
Let the Data Analytics person stay on vacation.
Yes, too many words. Your fans (speak for yourself) need more "powerpoints", wallet cards, and corkboard post-its. REALLY.
Can you "post" in a downloadable form?
Fair enough. I'll try to write shorter next week. And more visual aids, you're saying?
Hand Raised
Did you use your Bluebook for the citations? 😉
I wish I could find my copy. Did I do a reasonable job? Thanks for reading. Scott

I haven’t opened mine since I was on my law school journal so it looked great to me!
