Thank you!

This poor jury was told the trial would end by December 18 - but now it looks to go past February.

Do convicted criminals who are sentenced have to pay for their own appeals, or do they still qualify for public assistance?

what I want to know is : How are jurors supposed to pay their mortgages and their other bills? How are they supposed to keep their jobs? I understand the reason for a jury system and being judged "by a jury of your peers" but (at least here in NY) the daily pay is maybe 20% of a normal daily salary AND you don't get any of it until about four weeks after the jury duty is completed... if you are living paycheck to paycheck what happens?

I am home from a loverly brunch with Mr Paul Ford, who is always good for a laugh and a nice visit. He is preparing another concert tour with Mandy Patinkin, staged by Susan Stroman.

May we come to the rehearsals?

There is a notion DR VIXMOM that the Defense Team, among other shady actions, is prolonging things in order that they will lose enough jurors to cause a mistrial.

I am charging my tablet so that I can use it during the GG show tonight here on HHW.

Almost time for the Red Carpet. I am going to tune in to E! at around 6pm.

Pretty sure the taxpayers pay for appeals.

Laura · « **Reply #67 on:** January 11, 2015, 02:21:35 PM »

The defense attorneys are doing their jobs: get the least penalty possible. I can't blame them for that.

I just think that the prosecution should have asked for life in prison, then we wouldn't still be going on with all this.

Laura · « **Reply #68 on:** January 11, 2015, 02:22:11 PM »

Also, one of the first questions they ask jurors is if it would be a financial hardship to serve on a jury. They don't want anyone to suffer financially because of jury duty.

Keith was hungry so we went out for lunch and then did a few errands. I needed to buy several sympathy cards.

Stumble-through was fun, lunch was fun and now I must write. I did all my futzing and finessing prior to the stumble-through.

elmore, who is your friend, Paul Ford? Is this the New York, writer, Paul Ford, or is there another Mr. Ford with whom I should be familiar?

Good morning.

Re Jodi Arias and the legal system: I believe enough time has elapsed that I am eligible for another jury summons. I seem to get one every time my time is up.

I received a summons in November for the week of Thanksgiving. I asked for a continuation and just received a summons for the first part of February.

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** January 11, 2015, 04:23:25 PM »

Thanks TCB. Keithdid all the work. I am sorry I can't finish the project I was working on today.

I've known Paul since he played piano for a concert production of ONE TOUCH OF VENUS at Town Hall around 1983. He was the roommate of Bill Tynes, who produced the New Amsterdam Theatre Co. He played piano for rehearsals and show for every Sondheim musical after SWEENEY TODD, I believe, and he worked with Paul Gemignani for years on concerts and other shows. When I worked at Drama Book Shop in the 1980s, I used to see him coming to play INTO THE WOODS or SUNDAY IN THE PARK or PASSION as I was heading home. He's a dear friend and as crazy as they come. Kinda like you, DR TCB!

TCB, you can make chili however you want.

I brought two cans of Skyline back with me when I went to Kentucky. i thought I was going to be stopped at the airport and charged with polluting Texas, but nobody said a word.

Note to self: starting next trip, add Skyline supplies to the Vernors and Graeters contraband.

It's a good thing I drive over for those visits. I can fill the back seat and cargo area. Yes sirree! Bring it on!

THen you will need to load up on both Skyline and Gold Star in a can (I couldn't find the latter when I went to buy them) and report on which one is better.

I'll be waiting for those notes.

Evening all! Sorry to hear that DR Jane isn't feeling well--feel better vibes your way!

I ran around to much yesterday. And then had to go out again and get the things I forgot to get yesterday. I try to have a list but sometimes even that doesn't help.

I stayed in bed until ten this morning. Just lazy and didn't feel like getting up. I was in that sweet spot--just sooooo comfortable. Not to hot or cold, not sleeping but not fully awake. I love it when that happens.

i'm starting my New Year promise to try to eat a (well really drink) more greens. I bought a vitamix a month or so back but haven't really put it to use. I am going to attempt to change my lunch for a green drink. I mixed my first one up tonight. It has an.....interesting flavor. I hope I'll be able to get used to it. Spinach, papaya, grapefruit, lemon, lime, flax seed, pineapple and turmeric. This is for people with arthritis. They claim it will really help with joint pain. I'm going to give it a try.

Paul Ford's no-holds-barred comments on the Forgotten Musicals book of face page always had me in stitches. I knew his name long before he joined that site. That was back in the day when I memorized every person in the chorus of certain shows, ever person listed on the stage credits, etc. No memory for that anymore.

Best of luck with the juicer, DR Danise. Don't stick too many fruits, as that fruit juice is pure sugar and not for a diabetic, which, as I recall, you and I both are.

I love my Vitamix. Use it for soups more than anything. If something has to be pureed down to a smooth consistency, it's great.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** January 11, 2015, 05:01:59 PM »

Cooked a pork shoulder with apple and onions for most of the afternoon and served it with some green beans and new potatoes.

Panna cotta pie for dessert in a bit.

Today will be a long day. Theater Artists Olympia is having an executive board retreat. I don't know what all we're going to do from 11:0 am until 5:00 pm, but we'll be doing somethings. It's also supposed to be a potluck, so I need to get something to bring.

I'm home now! We had a good retreat. We went through our by-laws and policies and procedures. Some things were tabled, but we got through a lot.

And now, I'm home for the Golden Globe Awards!
