They're so lucky to have a real lawyer as a mom who is willing to help like that. 48 long!!!! AMmo is 6' and wears just a 40 long. He just left for a speech tournament all dressed up in his new suit. Dan took him out and spent a LOT on it. Several hundred, I think. And I suspect it may be because in law school we were very poor and the only suit we could afford when he had to have one for First Year Moot Court was a light blue one from this tacky little store. It cost 75.00. EVeryone was kind -- I think a professor finally explained to him that light blue suits weren't really appropriate for the court room. My mother finally bought him one when he made it to the Final Four. The winner, btw, was A GIRL and she was incredible. They all were, but she was brilliant. She was very, very quick and funny and an extremely nice person. Now that I think about it the final four were all not just very bright, but polite and LIKEABLE. The ones who were the arrogant, "Gotcha" types went down in early rounds. I've wondered how successful some of the self-proclaimed legal experts on Bush really are, the ones who are always saying "are you a lawyer?" to people before poo-pooing them, the way they refuse to listen, and often, the way they seem not to THINK. Plus some of them have regrettable grammar and spelling habits.
