Going to court. . .


Kathleen ran off with the neighbor this morning.
As promised, John Gerken wheeled his immaculate Cadillac onto our driveway at 7 a.m., to squire Kathleen to the Wm. Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul.
That's where the pair will serve again on a mock jury, as young trial attorney wannabes try their case before a jury of volunteers.
John and Kathleen have performed this public service before, they get a kick out of the activity, and, we are sure, their measured judgment in the jury room after the trial is most appreciated by the organizers.
As luck would have it, our neighbors, Mr. Collier and Mr. Anderson, were also stirring about the neighborhood at 7 a.m. today and so observed Kathleen slipping into John's car and speeding away. Something new to discuss over breakfast.
