A Sabbatical from Politics Till the Fourth of July
I have decided to take a five-month break from politics. To some extent, I have Steve Jobs to thank for this decision. Apple’s handing down of its new tablet on Wednesday has turned the eBook space white hot. The iPad … Continue reading
Juror 1055’s Unsettling Day in Court
I reported for jury duty today at 8:30 a.m., but my number, 1055, was not called until the very last courtroom’s call for jurors, just before noon. Twenty-four of us followed the clerk to Courtroom 100K, where a 16-year-old girl … Continue reading

Two courts have come to Room 431 at the Denver District Court building for juror calls this morning, but so far they have not called my four-digit number. There are still close to 200 of us waiting in comfortable chairs. … Continue reading

Odds and Ends Toward the End of a Year
1. Cory Doctorow and Stephen King have hijacked my Kindle with great fiction reads. My pre-ordered copy of King’s Under the Dome arrived, as promised, on Christmas Eve. It’s scary how well he tells a story. I suspect that I … Continue reading
‘Twas the Day Before Thanksgiving, and All Through the Mall…

To My Kindle Subscribers: Apologies for RSS Glitch
