antici ... pation

well i spent today in the courthouse.

i sat in a room full of other potential jurors and i read alice munro. for hours and hours. dang but she's terrific, though. i wondered if my name would ever be called, and then, finally, at about 2:30, it was.

i was assigned to a municipal court case, which felt like a bummer. municipal court means small change, traffic malfeasances, etc. not so interesting. i want me a superior court case! that's the juicy stuff. but then, a few minutes later, it was announced that that particular case went away, and i was released for the day.

i go back tomorrow. i'll bring a second book, in case i finish the munro.
