Okay, let’s see. In the last two weeks:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I got my wallet lifted, with all the attendant pain-in-the-ass that entails\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. I had jury duty and was considered for a murder trial,<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Then I twisted my ankle and fell down in the street at lunchtime (complete with crowd gathering. \u00a0I\u2019m fine; I think I was just so stressed at the prospect of being selected for a murder trial.) <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Fortunately, I was eliminated on day two because I asked for clarity around “reasonable doubt.” \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s a little two-line play about that:<\/span><\/p>\n

    At rise: A Courtroom in the United States. \u00a0Twelve prospective jurors are seated for voir dire. \u00a0A woman raises her hand to speak to the presiding judge:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    Me: <\/span>So, you\u2019re saying that if something we hear is not allowed into evidence, we have to ignore it, and convict or not based only on what we\u2019re allowed to consider, but then what if in my gut–<\/span><\/p>\n

    Judge: <\/span>You\u2019re excused.<\/span><\/p>\n

    End of Play<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    Phew. \u00a0As the mother of a teenager, I felt it was important to set an example and show up for my civic duty. \u00a0I mean in some countries, as the judge aptly pointed out, there\u2019s mob justice and they throw people off of rooftops. \u00a0So I went forth in earnest\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

    But I questioned the rules of the game. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    It’s nice to know that sometimes all you have to do is be yourself for things to work out alright.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Suffice it to say that I\u2019m ready to blow off some steam. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    That\u2019s why I\u2019m really looking forward to this Wednesday night. \u00a0That\u2019s when I\u2019ll be holding court at the… \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
