my tuesday.

Yesterday I traveled to <a href=”http://www.lakepointe.org/” target=”_blank” title=”Lake Pointe Church”>Lake Pointe Church</a> in Rockwall, Tx with my friend <a href=”http://www.fbcwoodway.org/AboutUs/bob_j.htm” target=”_blank” title=”THE Bob Johns”>Bob Johns.</a> It was an enjoyable time as we talked ministry, life, liberty, and the pursuit of well ministry. We went to LPC for the purpose of discovering some new insights to audio/visual/lighting for the new student room at our church. Bob really has a sense of what he wants out of the room and we seem to really be on the same page so far as that goes. With that said, we also met with <a href=”http://web.mac.com/gounseen/iWeb/Gounseen.org/media%20staff_files/Clint.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”THE Clint Reiber”>Clint Reiber</a> who just so happens to be a really good friend from <a href=”http://www.hputx.edu” target=”_blank” title=”THE Howard Payne University”>college.</a> Clint helped Bob and I <a href=”http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/exhibits/img/sftm.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”I don’t advocate actually shooting the moon – the ocean might get a little annoyed.”>”shoot for the moon” </a>when it comes to the things we need and want for the new room. All in all, it was an enjoyable time and LPC has some pretty phenomenal buildings… Afterwards we went to a restaurant called <a href=”https://gloriasrestaurants.com/home.php” target=”_blank” title=”THE home of find Salvadorian Cuisine”>Gloria’s Restaurant.</a> It is described as a fine Salvadorian dining experience… whatever. So I order a <a href=”http://http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/recipes/906001150_beef-bean-burritos-recipe.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”Not my actual burrito, but the closest thing I could find.”>Burrito</a>, along with a trusty <a href=”http://http://www.goldeneagleracing.com/photos20/foster.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”This was the most random Dr. Pepper piece I could find.”>Dr. Pepper</a>. It wasn’t really that bad of a meal until our waitor attempted to place my refill before me. He was reaching around my left shoulder while continuing to hold 3 drinks (<a href=”http://http://www.baylor.edu/content/imglib/29904.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”We weren’t at Balyor but I found this online. Weird huh?”>Dr. Pepper</a>, <a href=”http://youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM” target=”_blank” title=”We all know the afteraffects of Diet Coke.”>Diet Coke</a>, and <a href=”http://http://blogs.menupages.com/boston/Iced%20Tea.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”nothing really special about this drink.”>Tea</a>). PAUSE I remember as a kid in driving school. I think it was called “<a href=”http://http://cassiela.tripod.com/kidding/driver.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”not real… just someone playin’ around.”>Easy Method Driving School</a>” to be precise. After my class, i think “<a href=”http://http://www.policetest.info/POLICE2.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”not the actual guy, but he had to look something like this… right?”>they</a>” shut the school down because of accident reports from people who “graduated” from the school. In fact, I was one of those. Right before school I hit a lady and it was totally my fault. Back to my point, remember when you first were learning to drive and you would turn your head to look for entry onto the highway? As you looked your hands would drift along with the tilt of your head – was I the only person that this happened to? But, your driving instructor would gently correct the car and all would be well… Okay – remember the drift of your hands on the steering wheel as we pick up my story. RESTART Our waitor is setting my drink in front of me and as he leans over to do so, his tray filled with 3 drinks just so happily leaps off his tray and onto my back – hairline on my neck to be precise down to my buttocks. I litterally had a piece of ice swimming in my <a href=”http://http://www.northwestoutlet.com/images/hanes.jpg” target=”_blank” title=”not my actual boxers – just similar.”>Hanes</a>. Thankfully, the glass that had broken had managed to miss me and decided to fall all over the ground upon hitting my back and the chair. The natural reaction from me was to stand up (besides, who wants to sit in someone else’s refill?), so that’s what I did. What was so facinating about the whole experience was that the waitstaff didn’t really know what to do from there. I think this might have been the first time they had spilled 3 drinks on one person. I was laughing, Bob, Wayne, and Clint were laughing and thankfully the entire lunch crowd paused to observe my back. How nice. The manager walked over and asked if I would like a shirt (since my shirt was obviously soaked). I complied and he gave this: <a href=”http://macriner.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/my-tuesday/10/” rel=”attachment wp-att-10″ title=”img_9249.jpg”><img src=”http://macriner.wordpress.com/files/2007/10/img_9249.jpg” alt=”img_9249.jpg” height=”328″ width=”231″ /></a> Yeah – the next time you see me wear this will be when I work in the yard. It’s just that bad. So now I’m carousing the town in this feast of the world shirt. <a href=”http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPage?appID=94&CMID=&langId=-1&pageView=image&catalogId=10001&partNumber=&storeID=39&storeId=10151&deptId=000000000&categoryId=000000000&jumpToPage=1&currentPage=0&subdeptId=000000000″ title=”The Garland store is right on the lake… it’s really nice.” target=”_blank”>Bass Pro Shop</a>, <a href=”http://www.rei.com/?cm_mmc=ps_google_reibrand-_-REI_Brand-_-REI-_-r.e.i.” title=”Awesome store… not as cool as Bear Mountain in Waco.” target=”_blank”>REI</a>, <a href=”http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/?src=4WWRWXX” title=”You can get lost in this place.” target=”_blank”>Guitar Center</a>, and <a href=”http://www.starbucks.com/” title=”I like Cafe Americano here… but on this day i ordered Cafe Mocha, iced.” target=”_blank”>Starbucks</a>. As the lady behind the counter at Starbucks informed me of how much this was going to cost me, she asked: ”Which Gloria’s do you work at?” I replied: ”I don’t work at a Gloria’s.” She responds: ”Well, you look like you do with that bus boy shirt on an everything.” So, now I get a little red in the face because not only did I get 3 drinks spilled on me, I was given a shirt bus boys wear. Great. I arrive home and walk in the door and Abby looks at me and simply laughs. No hug. No “I’m sorry.” Just laughs. this is my life. mc
