Heh, you'll do fine. Chances are you'll get the boot after examination. I'll put in a word with Gaia.

Maybe you will get a good hi profile one. Then be able to get a book deal afterwards.

How's that old saying go? God doesn't give you anything you can't handle.

That statement is true, in my opinion, in that it is consistent with 'God doesn't give you anything.'

How do they do it where you live, barbara? Is it a week of jury duty or "one-day/one-trial"?

It's a week. I call in every day after five to see if I have to report to duty. I was called in to report this afternoon. Still suffering from the flu and they couldn't get me and my germs out of there fast enough.

Note to self: throwing up in the ladies room of the court house gets one out of jury duty.

I really really would like to serve on a jury, but I would surely get booted.

So when you call in tomorrow, just tell them that you feel sick, and make a retching noise. They might even excuse you from the next day. But I hope you feel better.

Regards,

D-Ray

Get well soonest.

The nice thing about being over 70 you don't do juries anymore, once was more than enough.
