Guess who's Juror # 1?
Obviously, I cannot discuss the case until it's over, which will probably not be till the end of next week (we have tomorrow and Friday off, so that's not quite as long as it sounds), but though this does require re-scheduling a meeting, it could have come at a much worse time. I've always wanted to be on a jury, and I could use a break from my regular life, so I'm not unhappy about it.
It's also an ideal case as far as I'm concerned: not likely to drag on too long, not likely to be emotionally grueling, interesting, and one which involves learning about some matters of which I previously knew nothing whatsoever. And the other jurors seem like cool people.
Since that's all I can say about that, I guess you will hear a lot about the books I'm reading during my lunch break, which is an hour and a half and must take place on the grounds as if you leave, you lose your parking space.
Today I read an old Scholastic children's book, All the Children Were Sent Away by Sheila Garrigue. An English girl is sent to Canada during the Blitz, and must cross the ocean on a huge ship full of other refugee children. She is under the care of the snobbish Lady Drume, who doesn't want her to play with the Cockney kids, but who turns out to be not that bad beneath her stern exterior. It was pleasant but not terribly memorable.
