Right you are
A lawyer (his third career, unless you count his seven year interlude as a PUC judge as a fourth) since the latter 1980s. And I did indeed spend my first thirteen years, until he left for college modeling my speech after his (although in the sample provided he is being deliberately arch and "lawyerly"—it's not really representative of his diction or mine).
I'm still quite pleased that he's come over to the Mac side: I'd never thought to see it, and it had been years since I pitched the cause to him. I guess I should shut up about his republicanism...
cordially,
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
