It seemed like an average Wednesday when I woke up this morning. I got up an hour before I had to. No alarm or anything. That part did kind of stink. But what can I do…so I woke up and started the day.
Had breakfast, and went to work. Work for the first part was in another building…it was a boring 2 and a half hour meeting. Sigh…I had no input in the meeting. And I am sure that the people in the meeting are all nice enough…but it was BORING! So got done with that, and I went to fulfill a promise to a friend. I had been promising my friend Dawn that I would come and see her, but she has been in a different building than the one I work in ever since I got my promotion…So I happily went to see her. She was not feeling well, so not really up for a visit…but she still faked like she was happy to see me. She got back from England a few weeks ago, and brought me back a gift! Can you believe someone remembered all the way over in England on their vacation? Well see did…and all of a sudden and average day became very un-average. So I was very happy to receive my Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (British version) and Westminster Abby book mark! It was fantastic.
So after that lovely time, I had another lovely time having lunch with two dear friends, Amanda and Jennifer. It was nice to have lunch with them, since both of them have kids now, and it is hard for all of us to get together. So again…not average.
So here is where the story gets average. Or does it? I am sitting at my desk later in the day (it is 5:15 in the afternoon), and I am thinking of going home. When all of a sudden, a manager of another area, and a friend, Lisa comes up to me and asks what I was doing tonight. Well it was not a date proposal, because Lisa is married, and has beautiful children. But Lisa has a free ticket to see a sneak preview of the movie, License to Wed. Robin Williams, and Mandy Moore…I accepted the ticket, and called my pal Eric to come with me. Now Eric has a family, and needed to see if the Wife would be Ok with this. LaLa was OK with it, and now the stage is set. I met up with Eric, and he and I went to the movies. The movie was pretty solid…a good date movie (if anyone wants to know)…but I laughed, and had a blast with my friend. This night is turning pretty good.
Then, I get home, and turn on my TV…and what is on the screen, but a tribute to Paul Simon. I love Paul Simon’s music! My parents use to play Simon and Garfunkel music for me and my sister on Friday nights. “Still Crazy After all These Years”, “Sound of Silence”, “The Boxer”, “Mrs. Robinson”, “Cecilia”, and my favorite song of all from them, “America”. And then there is “Call Me Al”, “ Graceland”, and “Rhythm of the Saints”. So I sat back, and enjoyed all of it. It was amazing all the stars that came out to sing Paul Simon’s songs. I was just in awe!
So here I am at the keyboard typing away, about to end this Wednesday that was definitely not average. It was Legend (wait for it) dary!
Your Eternal Bud! Chris
