I have always wanted to sit on a jury.  Alas, I never make it.  Once I was summoned but I had moved from Oakland to Wayne county so I was disqualified.  A few years later I was sent info on becoming a juror.  I knew once I read the questionaire that I wouldn’t be accepted.  It had asked if I had ever sued someone.  The problem was not only did I sue someone but I sued a drunk driver who ran me over while I was walking.  Yea, not going to get into a jury with that history. 

Then it happened.  I got a summons here in Texas.  There was no silly questionaire asking about lawsuits and drunk driving.  The only thing that would trip me up on this jury summon would be the fact that I have a masters.  I have a theory on the intelligence they look for(or lack of).  OH I was sooooo excited and then I looked at the date.  They wanted me Monday, May 5th.  UUGGHH I knew I would be in Michigan.  Foiled again!  I wrote a nice letter to the explaining that I would be out of town but would love to join them when I come back.  Yea, still no comment from them.  I’m sure I will hear something in a few more years.  ack.

Yesterday Gregg and I took the boys to U of M.  Gregg wanted to get pics of the stadium.  Wow the new press box and suites are totally going to change the look of the stadium.  We took the boys past one of the houses I spent most of my college life in and my dorm.  We also took them to one of my favorite eating spots, Red Hot Lovers.  They had no BBQ Tofu like I used to eat but it was all still good.  I even walked the boys under West Engineering and they loved it.  Of course it was a beautiful day.  It was 76 and all the college kids were in shorts and t-shirts.  I didn’t bring enough warm clothes because it doesn’t normally get this warm here now.  WE have been blessed this trip.

OK well ony two more days for the boys and i and Gregg leaves tomorrow.  It’s been fun but boy I am ready to go home and sleep in my own bed and not leave my 5 mile radius.  I am sooooo sick of driving.  poor Gregg.
