September 16--Let Me Go, Please!

The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive. 
--Bill Watterson

It is a first-class human tragedy that peoples of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus whom they describe as the Prince of Peace show little of that belief in actual practice.  --Mohandes Gandhi

    Today I must report for jury duty. While I am OK doing the whole "good citizen" thing, I don't want to go. The last time I was called, I sat in the jury pool room for an entire (boring!) day and was dismissed. I really do not want to be picked for a jury, as timing is bad on the home front this week. I plan to take a deck of cards in case I'm stuck with a bunch of bored potential jurors who are game-players. I should borrow my husband's t-shirt that says, "I can't, I have plans with my dog."

    Onward to the civics lesson!
