the silver lining

After "too" full days as a juror in the 162nd Dallas Court I had a decent idea of some good cheap fun for the kids.

The idea didn't arise from any evidence presented during the civil case but rather from staring mindlessly, during breaks, out the 7th floor window toward the plaza below.

I suspected the plaza might be a good open space for the kids to cut loose. Tonight, just one day later, I put the idea to test.


The JFK Memorial was a huge hit. The fountain park across the street was an even bigger success. In addition, the kids were little angels while dining at the downtown Sonny Bryan's.

Who knew jury duty could result in so much fun.
