Beth: Bits 'n pieces
Today, during my water aerobics class at the Y, I watched a woman in the upper balcony, doing a full Tai Chi routine all by herself. It was one of the most beautiful things I've seen recently. I wish I could be that graceful.
April is going to be crazy. Some of that is due to Part II of my jury duty commitment. Against the odds, I was actually selected for a trial! Of the 25 cases on the schedule for that day, 24 of them settled out of court; of the 40 or so potential jurors that day, somehow I made it on the one remaining case. I'll be juror #7 for an aggravated assault case starting in mid-April. What I've seen already has been fascinating; I can't wait to actually be a part of a real trial. The judge said the case should take only one or two days at the most...
...Which is good, because later that week I'll be en route to Charlotte, North Carolina! Yes, it's for work technically (national student culinary competition), but due to the competition schedule and my flight itinerary, I'm going to have plenty of free time to do fun stuff. Now I just have to see what there is to do around Charlotte! Oh, and of course - it being a culinary competition - I'll likely eat very well.
Yes, spring on the education beat can be hectic, but you can't beat a free trip to North Carolina. At least I can't complain of being bored!

Ooooo. I'll be interested to read as much as you can tell us about the trial. I've only been up for jury duty once, and it turned out we weren't needed (all cases settled). I keep hoping I'll get called again, but it hasn't happened yet (more than four years now!). Enjoy your trip, too!

Very, very cool about the trip. How long will you be there? Is Christian able to accompany you?
