Okay, so these aren’t exactly the Shroud of Turin, but they’re still worth consideration. At least to me.

Eight Mildly Interested People
My first time serving on a jury has come to a close. I helped decide a gender discrimination (civil) lawsuit brought against UPS by one of its employees in a U.S. District Court. While there were excruciatingly slow parts, I found the entire experience very interesting and even fun (it helps that I’m a huge Law & Order fan and haven’t been in a courtroom in almost 20 years). Generally speaking, it was about what I expected — based upon knowledge of the justice system procured entirely through TV/movies — but there were a few things that surprised me…

mmmmm, beef ribs
Those who know me (even a little bit) know that I love pork in practically all of its glorious forms. I even created a t-shirt to make my feelings about pork perfectly clear.

Read Part 3: Ridin’ along in my automobile…
Apologies to GM for referencing a Beach Boys song about a Ford, but the spirit rings true. The Red Beast is great fun when you have some weekend time and commuter-free highways to let her run free. She doesn’t disappoint. read more

Read Part 2: The eagle has landed
Hit the open road with the Camaro on the way home yesterday. Actually, it wasn’t all that open considering the commute traffic, but there were a few stretches on 280 where I let all the pretty horses run a little. I was able to hit 90 for a short stint, somewhat balancing out the 30 mph spots (what a shame). read more
