I was just getting settled in, thinking how time flies because it seemed like you just announced you would be out of commission for a bit due to jury duty. I'm glad I kept reading to find out that I wasn't in my time warp and that you were dismissed early. Phew.<br /><br />Love the handstand! What was that couple doing? They just seemed to be standing around. lolClarinda @ Enjoying the Coursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021277904041262711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-15568467203821127102017-12-12T16:30:56.168-06:002017-12-12T16:30:56.168-06:00I've always thought it'd be very cool to s...I've always thought it'd be very cool to serve on a jury. I used to get called all the time when I lived in Meridian but never even made it to the questioning phase. Once I was called to federal jury duty which would have been a two hour drive and I had a one week old infant...needless to say, I was excused from that one.<br /><br />Maybe you'll get another chance one day!
