OK went to court website and answered my own question. Case to commence on Jan 15th.

ANother tidbit showed up in the calendar: there will be motion hearing during the week of the jury Voir Dire (which begins on Jan 8th).

So they will be litgating the small stuff right down to the wire.

Isn’t Jan. 15th a holiday? MLK Day.

TURN ON C-SPAN 2 !
The Christy is on w/a rerun of part of 12-12 panel she went to! Someone else speaking right this minute but hopefully she will be back again.

CHS, “you look maaaaaaaavelous” & sound even better.

Gotta run; expecting company & they are going to be *forced* to watch the tube *g*

Woo Hoo! Thanks for the heads up – Christy knocks my socks off!
