Aw man... you guys are killing me. I'm so wishing I was there. In another bizarre twist to life, I can further add that it was not in the cards for us to come, initially for the business reasons. But now there is another. We had known that Suzi had Jury Duty the week before the rally (last week). I also had Jury Duty last February, and wasted a week of my life in a crummy civil dispute between some rich guys who had nothing better to do then file suit against each other. Well we figured she would get something like that also, and she would be free of her duty for this week. Well, no that's not what she got. She ended up in a high profile criminal trial that has been in the news every day. There are 52 witnesses, and the prosecution is just now wrapping up their testimony. The Defense will begin today, and only 27 of the witnesses have been heard from. Even if we had stayed the course and planned to come, I'd be forced to either come alone, or not come at all. *sigh*
