Time in a bottle

“Time. time. time / See what’s become of me / While I look around for my possibilities” – Simon & Garfunkel, “A Hazy Shade of Winter” (by way of The Bangles) I am not normally in the business of bragging. Clearly there are plenty of people beneath me both intellectually and… intellectually. But even these clueless souls would agree that I avoid grandstanding after I let them know how awesome I am. So it is with humility that I submit the following. I was among a chosen few, gifted with reason and intelligence, to receive a personal request by mail from the government to serve my community. Fort Bend County needed me at the courthouse to serve on a jury. That’s right. I was chosen to represent the people of the State of Texas. And this was the second time my brilliance has been requested since 1995. so I understand why they want me back. I can’t deny I did really well last time. Oh gosh. I wish the rest of the world could see me the way Fort Bend County does.
