jury duty

i was selected for jury duty yet again — every 26 months, like clockwork and for the first time ever went through a void dire that no lawyer in the world would let me survive.
the case involved sibley hospital (where both my kids were born), the appearance of medical misdiagnosis (which we could accuse sibley of for sparkler’s cheek) and involved someone with a broken back (which the lady sparkler got when she was a kid)…
… but i got bounced not due to a threat of me running away with the jury, but because of work travel I have scheduled for next week. oh well, all’s well that ends well.
