Leaving Salt Lake will anyone notice...
A big thank you to the people of the Salt Lake City area. I’m headed to the airport in just a little bit and, so far, it’s been a good trip, the beer is tasty, the people nice and the view is beautiful!
A funny thing happened to me last night, while I was sitting at the Wasatch Brewery in Park City, Utah. I met some very nice folks, Dana and Scott, both from Colorado currently, but Scott is originally from the Boston area. The funny thing is, the conversation started around baseball of all things! Those of you who know me, know that I don’t give two flying pigs feet about baseball. Anyway, Scott is a freelance marketing dude and Dana is the executive director of an organization that I have a lot of respect for. I have or will allude to them during this post, but for reasons of not wanting to ID people on my blog (you’ll notice this is the first time I’ve used names, simply because there is no connection between, Scott, Dana and I) I’ll leave the ID to your sleuthing abilities. Dana would NOT autograph her business card for me. Oh, well, I have the card and if anyone disputes the fact that I met her, well, they’ll have to drop her an e-mail and have her prove it!
Anyway… Dana and Scott are agnostic so our conversation centered a lot around “religion” and politics. It’s very hard to explain how I feel about “religion” versus following Jesus as a life journey. The definition of religion does not define how I feel I live my life, not a set of rules that I conform to with ardor. I study Jesus and the Bible and try to follow them. I don’t do a good job, most of the time, but I try.
I digress. My new acquaintances have two children and were in town as part of a large convention, I figure they have, either, a lot of money or the conference folks were paying for the babysitter, cuz the kids were at home. I’m guessing the conference folks were paying, these folks didn’t seem the types to be stuck on money and stuff. At any rate, we had an enjoyable conversation, and their offer of joining them for dinner was VERY tempting. It was late and I am up early to head home. Thanks Dana and Scott for making a lonely evening in Park City a very interesting and thought provoking evening! May you be blessed along the rest of your life journey.
Some of you may not find this next bit funny, but I did. I only brought two pairs of socks with me on this trip, I don’t know why, but I did. So that meant I either had to wear the dirty socks or wash a pair. This I did, yesterday morning after getting ready for work. Washed the socks, wrung them out and brought them to work with me. I set them on the trunk of the car and let the Utah sun do it’s job. What a great job it did! Just after lunch, my socks were nice and dry, stiff as a board (hard water) but dry! My client folks laughed at me, they thought it was a riot that I had “laundry” on my trunk drying. It was fun. I like fun.
Well, it seems that I must get ready to head to the airport. I’m hoping to make it on time. I’d like to go to the re-vision meeting tonight, but more importantly, I’d like to make it down to the pub for a beer with the dawg (and others). I miss my “home brew”.
