On the Sixth Day of Christmas

My true love gave to me...

SIX hours of jury duty*

FIVE happy years!
FOUR loads of laundry
THREE college tuitions
TWO funny boys
and a sweet angel we named Lucy.


*This morning, as I stood outside in really cold weather(seriously people, 33 degrees in Southern CA?)waiting in the court security line, I suddenly got the strange feeling that something, not something big but SOMETHING was happening a half world away in Taiwan. Maybe I was supposed to be at jury duty today while Lucy's case was moving forward - just a little cosmic courting. It made sitting there for hours just a little bit less mind-numbing. The good news - after those 6 hours, I'm done for another year. Justice has been served.
