I want to share my happy with everyone

The quick jury duty story:
Since Kate rolled her eyes when I asked her if she wanted to hear about the trial, I'll spare you from most of the details. Two cars collided. The person driving in the car that got hit claimed he was injured in the accident. He had pre-existing injuries, but his argument was that the injuries were exacerbated. We, the jury, didn't believe him. We did award him enough money to cover the emergency room visit from later that day, somewhere around $300, but they were asking for $50,000. I definitely feel that this guy wasted a lot of people's time. I want to bill him for my hours. However, I did make a few friends.

The quick crazy fact:
Kate is due in one month. Four weeks. They say that it is normal to give birth anywhere from two weeks before to two weeks after your due date. That means we could have a baby in two weeks. TWO WEEKS!

The quick observation:
Selling stuff on Ebay takes a lot of time and effort. However, you can sell a lot of stuff that you would think was garbage. TWO BIDS!

Been payin' every day

I owned two 45s when I was young. The first was the Spinners' "Working My Way Back to You" and the second was "Reach Out I'll Be There" by the Four Tops. I heard both of them in the car the other day. Actually, I heard the Frankie Valli version of "Working My Way Back to You" and I thought, "there's something different about this song." Then, the very next day I heard the Spinners' version of the song, the one that I owned, and I thought, "that's more like it."

All right, I admit that this entry exists just so I can always look up the names of the two songs. I can never remember both of them at the same time.

Civic Duty

I have jury duty. Can't talk about the case right now, but I'll fill you in on all the details when the trial is over. Go play in the snow.
