I just finished watching the first four seasons of the show Breaking Bad. It could be one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME! It is an excellent story about a mild-mannered chemistry teacher who ends up being a Meth cook to finance treatment he needs for cancer.
The show does an excellent job of illustrating two main points:
1. How sin, little by little, can take over a life.
2. Every action has a consequence.
Amazing writing and acting!!!
I’ve attended the C3 Conference every year for probably the past eight years. Generous friends who live in Texas invest in me every year by paying for the conference fee, getting me a plane ticket, and providing housing. And every year, for the last eight years or so I have flown down on the Wednesday afternoon of that week. So…I had in my head that I was flying down on Wednesday afternoon.
UNTIL…I had sent an e-mail to my friends to confirm the times of pick up from the airport and in it I said, “See you Wednesday at 7:00 pm.” A little while longer I got a call from my friend to say, “I think your plane leaves today at 4:25 pm!“
So…I pull up the itinerary e-mail and sure enough…MY PLANE LEAVES OUT OF THE O’Hare AIRPORT AT 4:25 PM!!! It is after noon and I’m sitting in my office without a single thing packed thinking I’m leaving the next day.
After the overwhelming panic – I rushed home, backed a bag in the fastest time ever (I hope I remembered underwear) – rushed to Chicago, and made it to the gate with an hour to spare!! Yes…I’m that good.
I just signed up to participate in the “Running of the Bulls.”
So…to my wife…on Valentine’s Day (see previous post)…sorry!
PS…It was over 60 degrees in Dallas when I arrived and our first stop was Hard Eight Pit BBQ…so…my Valentine’s evening worked out pretty well!
