The Judge

Steve was always watching TV. If he was awake, the TV in the living room was on. One of his favorite things to watch was shows like Judge Judy and The People's Court. He watched these things for hours at a time and luckily for me, that is all one of the television on our cable network showed. I think Steve's biggest aspiration was to be on one of these shows. He may have even wanted to sue our landlord from one of the many face plants he did on the property. He was always blaming his bad feet but I am sure it was the lay of the land that made him dive face first into the driveway. I would have loved to have seen that episode. If you are going to dream in a drunken stupor then dream big. He was also always wanting me to watch these shows with him. I politely watched them a couple of times but I got tired of watching people present their "cases" to a retired judge who probably knew less about the law than I did. These shows have zero entertainment value for me. Steve was always theorizing about how he would present cases to the judge and I guess that is where his law degree from the Jack Daniels School of Law comes in handy.
