can i just say
that watching Colin Powell address the U.N. from a broken down 1970's television hanging above the vending machine in the jury room of the criminal court building just a hop from ground zero will definately go down in my history as one of the oddest moments in my life

i glanced at the armed guard staring at me from the hallway

i looked out the window from the 15th floor and tried to figure out where the world trade center had been

i looked at the somewhat hazy image of Colin Powell showing photos, playing audio tapes, slowly...carefully...laying out the many pieces of evidence against Saddam Hussein.

I had just come up from almost being part of a jury for a murder trial that would have dragged on for four weeks..thankfully they excused the self-employed

everything seemed surreal

ground zero, the criminal court building, the call to war, the vending machine,
the group of people falling asleep around me, hoping not to be picked for a jury..

just a weird day

just a weird ass day
