Shot in the Foot By A Job Well Done

I don't know if it ever made my "to do before 30" list(s) I've posted here before, but one of these days I'm going to go to the Kentucky Derby. It looked like the stars were aligned for me not only to go this year, but to be completely reimbursed for the trip. We had depositions scheduled in Kentucky for March but we were going to move them back a couple months and make it out around Derby time.

Just my luck though, we scared the other side enough so that they settled the case. Yeah, yeah, it's good for our clients, but I never get to have any fun. So my non-deductible, non-reimbursable, non-defrayed trip will probably come another year. Before I'm 30.
