JURY DUTY

Well, the last two days have been spent sitting for lengthy hours in a District Court as the judge and lawyers interviewed all potential jurors for a specific criminal case. I was looking forward to the experience. However, when I learned that the case might take two or three weeks before being given to the jury, I thought twice. This morning I submitted a letter to the Judge asking to be dismissed from this case as these are two important weeks for me leading up to the opening of school. As well, the full complement of priests is not here yet.

Permission granted ... only to know that at a future date one of those remarkable invitations will arrive again!

Because of this, I was unable to get reflections done for Monday and Tuesday.

Sorry, folks. That's the way the world turns.
