When we lived in Harris County, TX I was summoned for jury duty and served on a jury in a murder trial. As the prosecution was not going to ask for the death penalty, I was not absolved of duty. Two days on and into deliberations (after attending a church service commemorating 9/11 a few years earlier) and there was one woman who just was not convinced so I voted with her so she wouldn't feel pressured and when she voted to convict, I did too.

Now I live in Pennsyltucky and received a summons for jury duty but then was told I was excused because I'm an old fart.

I have to confess that I throw away my jury summons. I know that that is horrible to say. Bless the beasts and the patriots who take the time to do so.

On a less serious note: You look FABULOUS in the pictures especially that first one. Gorgeous dahlink.

Don’t do it again because you might get in big legal trouble. But also thank you!

I have been "lucky' with my jury duty as of late. I get notices on the days I am scheduled to report that I do not have to report. Except one time I DID have to report and I slept in and missed it. I was given a makeup date and when that date arrived...I didn't have to report.

Congrats on getting sprung from jury duty, but on the other hand, juries do need well informed, contemplative people, so you would do great if you're ever tapped to serve. And I agree, HCR must never sleep, so prodigious is her output of thoughtful and analytical pieces.

I wouldn’t have been able to serve on a jury anyway, I just wouldn’t be able to miss that much work
