Channeling Manon while snorkeling in the jury pool

There's way too much down time during grand jury duty.  Idle thoughts turn to worry about world events over which one has no control – like that uncast Manon Pas de Deux during ABT's Met season.  After a particularly boggy and sluggish larceny case, Haglund closed his eyes and drifted into June.  The spirit of Manon came swirling into his thoughts and spoke quite clearly.  She wants to be danced by Stella Abrera on June 29th.  With David Hallberg as Des Grieux.  And why not?
