I had my first day of jury duty and it was just the orientation and swearing in. I could not help but think I was in the minority as a person who was both happy and proud to be there. About 250 of my friends and neighbors were also called for the month of October and not a lot of smiles were to be seen. The judge did a very good job in giving an impassioned speech about this is not just a duty but a right and we should be proud of the service to our community. At the end of the orientation he only had a couple of dozen people lined up trying to get of serving. They gave us the speech about not talking about cases or trying to solve them just to here the facts and decide the case on the merits. I think this will be my biggest problem will serving. I will want to ask questions directly of the people to try to figure out what really happened. There are no capital cases set for next month so that is good.
Just keeping it short this afternoon. No baseball tonight because of more rain in central Kentucky. Mom is coming this weekend and we are working on getting her room, also know as the boys play room, presentable. Hoping everyone has a good weekend.
