I’m ready for my jury, Mr. Demille …

It is God’s honest truth that I have never wanted to serve on a jury, despite being told on numerous occasions that this would count as one of the greatest acts of citizenry. After my first experience of being questioned as a potential juror in a murder trial, there seemed nothing more frightening than handing down a guilty verdict to an assailant that kept glaring at me with his one good eye. Have these trial attorneys ever seen any Lifetime movies during “witness protection week”?

Gimme that Big Time Wrestling

On Saturdays, after Soul Train,  the Children’s Afternoon Film Festival and Girl Scouts consumed most my morning hour, my father would come home and watch Big Time Wrestling on Channel 2 (KTVU).   Hosted by Hank Renner, the guy with a nice Jerry Lee Lewis hairdo and some variation of a plaid sports coat, Big Time Wrestling was an hour-long show that featured three to four separate wrestling matches.

So about that Facebook friend …

I have always been curious about people who have over 300 – 1000+ Facebook friends.  It is already difficult to read my newsfeed with the few friends I do have, especially since Facebook likes to interrupt and confuse my sessions with their horrible advertisements and status/updates that are listed without regard for date and time.  While the trend might be to impress others by having many Facebook connections, consider the possibility that opening your personal information, photographs and status updates is comparable to allowing both friends and acquaintances to rifle through your computer or purse.
