(Not) Doing the Duty

So much for doing the (jury) duty. It was just Murphy's Law at work. I was actually looking forward to jury duty for once... and for reasons unknown to us potential jurors, we were all excused today. I can only assume either the defense decided trial-by-judge might give them better odds (is such a thing legally possible?), or there was some sort of plea bargain. At any rate, it's over.

The good news is that this means I will get to see the Stanley Cup tomorrow morning at work! Yes, the Stanley Cup, the Holy Grail of the NHL, is coming to The Press-Enterprise office. I'm there.
