In June, I ordered tickets for the Sept.22 Lightfoot show at the Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee. My friend and I had seen him there in '07, prompting me to write about it for our local paper. And that's how I first became acquainted with Char, Corfid, and all of you.
In August, I received a summons for jury duty. I was scheduled to serve for five days in September. And of course, one of those days is Sept.22.
So far, I haven't had to go in on any of my required days, as apparently a lot of cases settle prior to their trial dates. I'm hoping this trend continues, but it's very possible that I will need to be in court all day on Thursday, and then have to drive 2 hours to Milwaukee through rush hour and road construction to get to the show on time.
After watching years of endless reruns of Law & Order, I have been curious about what jury selection and trials are really like. I just wish the timing were a little different.
But I might get a good story out of this...
