My Civic Duty

Today I had the opportunity to fulfill my civic duty as a juror. Ed took the day off and I headed out to Dedham Supreme Court for 8am. Granted, I was not too happy in the morning since I was up late the night before but it was all good. I got a Coolatta on the way. Coffee is always good. I saw a friend who was working at the Dunkin' Donuts that I worked with at Dunkin' Donuts in Weymouth (where I met Ed)... (get ready for this)... 15 years ago! It was nice to see her! This was my 3rd time being called to jury duty. Everything was explained to us about how the jurors were called if needed; and if the judges didn't need any jurors, we'd be let out early. As it turns out, the district court did call for 46 jurors, but my number wasn't called. The rest of the cases were settled and I was outta there by 10:30am. Ed had dropped off Eddie at camp and then taken Kevin and Ryan to the pool to swim. I was thinking of meeting up with them at the pool but figured by the time I got there, they'd be headed home... so I came home to an empty house and got caught up on some phone calls, had some lunch and took a big ole nap. I woke up in time to get ready for work and off I went. Ed took the boys up to the elementary school for a "Get to know your Neighbor" social get together. He and the kids had fun and saw some of our neighbors there. Work was good. I am working on a project and it's nice to see progress. Another good day! Tomorrow Eddie has Kido camp and Kevin and Ryan have "school"... should be good. I'll keep you posted.
