Dear Cyndy,

http://home.earthlink.net/~ej1meyer/diary12/d120405.00
is a summary of today's events. This evening, I'm tired, but
not discouraged. I didn't win today, but neither did I lose.
Judge Macdonald didn't rule for me, but he couldn't rule
against me. He is obviously very biased and would like to
be able to uphold an adverse Board of State Examiners' 
decision. This evening I can't imagine how the Board could
endorse Mr. Ciarmataro's report. They would have to send
an Inspector to Nantucket to make an independent inspection
and submit a separate inspection report that came to the same
conclusion on the basis of detailed findings and reasoning.
Awesome intellectual acrobatics. I'll try to get the legal
work out of the way as soon as possible, so that I can get
back to my writing. I'm surprised that for once I find
nothing more to say. I hope you are well. Goodnight.
Jochen
