Ups and downs

Well, I appreciate the response to yesterday's post; I now have plenty of words for next week's column. But you people are sick! My local readers at least sent words people have heard of. And sure, a few of you did, but most of you... suffice to say I fear next week's column will be a difficult read for most people (and not an easy write for me).

Luckily, that's balanced out by this week's column, with which I am very pleased. Sure, it's a tiny bit out of date now, but I'm still happy with it.

Speaking of ups and downs...

Had to wake up at Ass O'Clock for Jury Duty this morning. That's Bad!

the_star_fish was willing to also wake up at Ass O'Clock to drive me. That's Good!

I literally could not keep my eyes open during the juror instructions and video. That's Bad!

Nobody seemed to mind that I practically napped through the video, and I wasn't held in contempt of court. That's Good!

There were many hours of sitting around and I forgot to bring a book to read. That's Bad!

I begged off the one jury I was going to be selected for, so I got to leave early. That's Good!

I was punchy due to lack of sleep and the_star_fish had to sit next to me the whole ride home. That's Bad! For Her!

Improv show wasn't snowed out tonight. That's Good!

Only 5 people showed. That's Bad!

Two of those people were porcupinemoon and outsidetheparty. That's Good!

I had a post-show meeting with the troupe so I couldn't hang out with them. That's Bad!

Also, it was our dirtiest show I've yet been a part of. That's Bad! Although probably Morally Ambiguous for Some Of You!

This entry is almost done. That's Good!

I have no ideas for a clever way to end it. That's Bad!
