When I first got off the Board, I kind of went through <strong>with</strong>drawal. I really missed<br />
it. I missed the staff people. I missed the other Board members. I miss dealing<br />
<strong>with</strong> the complicated issues but I have been fortunate in that I still get asked to<br />
run around and make speeches, which I love to do and still think about this stuff.<br />
I’m less constrained now then when I was on the Board. When I was on the<br />
Board, I felt some compulsion to represent the CAP as just opposed to saying<br />
what I thought. I will stay involved to this degree. People think all over the state,<br />
I’m a water lawyer because I talk about this stuff a lot, and I’m not. I don’t<br />
represent clients in regards to water issues, very rare exception. I’m a land use<br />
lawyer but I like talking about these issues.<br />
Q. Can’t use the land unless it has water<br />
A. Exactly.<br />
Q. You are a water expert though Would you consider yourself a water buffalo<br />
A. Yes. I’m proud to be a water buffalo. I actually have a pin <strong>with</strong> a picture of a<br />
water buffalo. I don’t know how many years it takes to become an official water<br />
buffalo. I think I am a water buffalo at this point.<br />
