Sunday Reflection: The Quiet Week
Unless you are involved with something like bowl games or debutante balls, this is a quiet week. The roads are less full, and many people sleep in.
But not everyone. When I was a prosecutor, I often worked on the week between Christmas and New Years. It was such sad duty, too- handling cases where people were picked up on a warrant when they visited their parents, or violated probation while celebrating the holiday. It was with a heavy heart that I drove to work down a deserted Jefferson Avenue in the morning.
I don’t have to do that anymore, but many people do. There can be good quiet and bad quiet, I guess.
