RIP Dan Donnellon
I lost a very devoted reader last week when Dan Donnellon died far too young. Dan was a former stand- up comic who became a lawyer. He was just about the funniest guy I’ve ever known, as well as one of the nicest. Dan frequently commented on my blog, and I would fire back. This led us to doing a podcast together, which we titled “Educated Idiots.” It was a fair description, as we proved by totally messing up the first episode. We literally sat in front of a microphone, talked to each other about Cancel Culture and had a great time. So great in fact that we forgot to hit the record button. Kind of idiotic.
We did manage to record one episode of the podcast. I will miss Dan a lot, so no great legal insights here, just a fond farewell to a good friend.
