Today things started out slowly (as they have every day this week), with no one from the pool called out for trial, so they turned on a television and everyone was allowed to watch Family Feud.
I must admit I miss the old Richard Dawson version of the popular game show. Did you know Dawson developed Family Feud as a spin-off of Match Game? Succeeding Dawson as host was the late Ray Combs, who was sufficient, and certainly better than those hosts who followed: comedian Louie Anderson, and Tim Allen's "Tool Time" buddy, what's-his-name.
The current host is mail-order mogul J. Peterman, who also, I understand, hosts a dog show broadcast and a celebrity dancing program.
Peterman closed his Seattle store a number of years ago, which was a shame, because it was absolutely my favorite place downtown to browse. The products were always interesting - the urban sombrero, and so on.
But enough about Peterman. My number just got called by the clerk. I am off to court.

A friend of mine, an old defense lawyer, gave me a bit of advise that, he swore, would guarantee you'd never be selected for a trial jury. He said to tell the prosecution/defense lawyers that "you could just tell a man was guilty by looking at him."
"Works everytime," he said.
