Duty Calls!
The kids were off on Spring Break a couple of weeks ago. I took off that Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so that we could do something fun. We went to the rodeo to see TBP and then on to Galveston. We got burned to a crisp. The weather was just so nice that we didn't think to put on sunscreen. I know.....Really stupid. I had also received a jury summons to apear at the court house on the following Monday. No problem, right? I just waltz right in, do my "thang" and waltz right on back out. Wrong. I was selected for a felony murder trial and spent 6 days as a juror in court. This was a Harris County District Court presided over by Hon. Judge Ruben Guerrero. A couple of things stuck with me after going through the whole trial jury process. One, it was a great experience and not anything like I thought it would be. Two, I hope I never have to do it again. The whole thing was very emotionally disturbing for me. The way I feel, it's not up to me
