Jury Duty

I had jury duty the last three days. It was a criminal case that involved a domestic assault by a mom on two of her four kids. While the defendant was extremely unlikable, the State did not clearly make the case. We had to vote not guilty on all counts, but there was a very large level of ick. I hugged both the kids when I got home.

Green and Black Ride

I spent part of the evening hanging at Shakespeare’s Pizza with this crew at the first Big Tree Cycling Green and Black ride of the year. I found myself wishing that I could have spent some time on two wheels with them tonight. I am out of shape and there is no way that I could keep up or ride 14 miles easily, but the urge to ride again is right there under the surface. For now, I will have to settle for hanging with a great group of cyclists. Here is to hoping that I can do what needs to be done to be riding my favorite bike ride by summer!
