Have you ever wished personal happiness for someone knowing that if it happens, the result will be personal misery for yourself? It happened to me this afternoon.  2011 is not bringing me much joy, I gotta tell ya.

I could see outwardly being gracious about it, but do you mean genuinely wishing someone happiness that would bring you misery ?

That is truly an act of unselfish love -

And I agree. Watching Hackman was almost always a pleasure, even when the movie wasn't.

What are you implying - that "Superman" was the finest film ever made?

Long day. Very long day. Got a lot done, but not what I needed. I guess I'm happy with what I did do. That means tomorrow is going to be a very, very long day.

BK, I spent the day in the car listening to your re-release of "Juno." Did you have to do anything to that recording when you transferred it? Does anything stick in mind?

Congratulations, Amy! Are you done now? Or are you still on call?

I'm done now, thank goodness. Some day, when I'm retired I'll be happy to serve and will attempt to get on as many juries as possible. I really think that I'd enjoy it. But right now, all I can think about is the hundreds of e-mails that are piling up at work while I'm gone.

I would love to be on a jury.  Having been a lawyer in somewhere between 50-75 (if not more)  I'd be fascinated being on a jury.  I made it to the final cut when I had jury duty last year, but they cut me.  It was a discrimination trial and would have been interesting

I once served on a competency hearing panel. It was strange because it was the exact opposite of a jury. The defendant was competent unless proven otherwise. The tiny old man's attorney tried to make it seem as if his client was incompetent because he spoke Spanish, not English, and because he was alcoholic. Since half of the panel was Hispanic, several found his argument ugly, to say the least. We found him competent.

We could not know what the man was charged with, but I checked at the newspaper when I got back to work: He was charged with beating one of his sons to death while he was in an alcoholic stupor. The rest of his family had been at the hearing, but not a one seemed to be there to support him.

It connects for me when I click on the link in my quote.  It shows the eagle quick then does an ad then back to the eagle.

There are 12850 viewers watching a bald eagle sleep.  I'm not sure if I'm happy because that many people care or curious why that many people have nothing to do but watch an eagle sleep

I have been on two juries: one was a drug possession where the defense rested as soon as the prosecution rested. The other was a civil, where they settled the day after choosing the jury. Plus a few times of sitting all day in the jury room and calling in only to be told I wasn't needed.

That was the civil trial. I'm so glad they settled, because there's no way I could listen to six days of testimony about cement.

I want to go see Marilyn Maye to celebrate my birthday.  I just checked and she'll be back in Okoboji the end of July.  She's such a cool lady.  She comes to the lakes in Iowa every summer.  When we had to raise 6 million dollars in 60 days to save a 100 year old amusement park, she was there every day, volunteering, stepping in to sing at the telethon we threw together you name it.   I was looking for the song she wrote about my home town "Estherville" but I couldn't find it on Youtube, so I posted this one

We Saved the Park back in 2000.  It was really fun to watch Marilyn be "re-discovered" by New York 5 or 6 years later.  I see she's nominated for another MAC award as a celebrity artist.  I hope she wins....Go Marilyn!
