Good morning fellow Hubskiers and welcome to the ersatz pubski!

It has been a long week for me. I spoke with my parents for a while on Friday and now I am writing a letter to them. I'm not sure what I want the conclusion to be yet or if it's one of those letters you write and never send.

I served on a jury (as a back-up juror) Monday and Tuesday. It was a he-said-she-said statutory (and actual) rape case. The testimony was harrowing even just to listen to. This morning I called and discovered that it was declared a mistrial, which I assume means the jury hung. And people wonder why sexual assault victims don't bring suit against their abusers.

In positive news, a conference paper I wrote this summer got accepted and the revisions look minor!

Hope you all are well.
