As long as you bring your book and iPod along to help prevent boredom... I served on a jury a couple of years ago for a really simple assault case that was a waste of time to try with a jury. Nonetheless, it gave me some feeling of civic pride to know that I had helped perpetuate our grand judicial system. That being said, I can't quite imagine getting stuck on a jury for a trial that was scheduled to last several weeks... maybe the intellectual part of my mind would enjoy the challenge, but somehow I'm thinking my employer wouldn't be too happy about my absence.

I like Kierkegaard a lot. His thoughts on the faith of Abraham were very insightful. The only "philosophy" books that I ever made it through were books by Kierkegaard. This was during my "trying to be intellectual" phase of my life. I have many books that I bought but never got through more than a few pages of. Oh, well. I guess I am just not very intellectual. :( Good to hear from you, Jeff. You haven't written much recently. Kierkegaard, eh? I like Kierkegaard a lot.
