This soup will excite and satisfy you.

I am a little distracted because I am making soup and herding rabbits.
But let me share a couple of things.

I have been summoned for Jury Duty. Most people feel irritated by being called to do their civic duty (and to some degree I can understand) but I am rather amused and excited. I was once called for jury duty when I was 19. But I was living at home and I was excused because I knew a couple of cops fairly well. (one was my friend's older brother) It is hard in a small town to cobble a jury together as everyone knows everyone else and they usually know everyones business. "Oh yeah... he totally did it. I remember when he was bothering kids on the playground when we were in school. Total bastard."
"Um...that is the judge."
"Yeah. I know."

So. I get called. I'm gonna bring my mp3 player and a good book or two. I plan on getting some reading done because I understand this stuff can take awhile. If I am called to be a peer and judge someone, I will share the juicy details about my fellow jurors and their weird habits. I promise nicknames too. "Ol' lazy eye" and "manic libertarian".

And if you are a fan of Andrew W.K. and/or the McLaughlin Group you ought to watch this. It will amuse and divert. I promise.

I am glad you enjoyed that. I know you are a keen fan and there is something so delightful about all of that. I think "I Love New York City" is incredibly awesome.

I think I might be too mouthy to be on a jury.
