I’m going to go ahead and tell you about dinner tonight. First you will need to know the players. Fezzik was there… as was Electric Glide… and most importantly… Cinderella. I’m going to go ahead and mention that this dinner was kind of a wind down to a great week. I’m gonna go ahead and tell you that we were planning on letting our hair down a little… we were planning on doing this literally not figuratively. Two new players joined us at dinner. They are also AP’s in the district at the secondary level. He will be called Atlas and she MilkMaid. I’m gonna go ahead and stop the dinner story and go ahead and tell you one small part of the General Assembly that happened earlier in the day.
As good participants we wanted to attend the General Assembly and see what was happening. There was a great guest speaker planned for the event. We knew there would be a few presentations before hand and then we would get to hear Dr. Douglas Reeves. Before Dr. Reeves came to the podium, a high ranking officer in a national educational organization came to the podium to speak. In about a five minute period the advanced administrators in my party noticed that the speaker had a speech cruch. He said “I’m gonna go ahead…” numerous times. I’m sure we must have missed the first ten or fifteen of those cruches. However, over the last fifteen minutes of his speech he must have uttered that phrase 48 times. Okay, he did mutter it 48 times… we counted… so… I’m gonna go ahead and return to the dinner story without the I’m gonna go aheads…
One of the patrons in my party, Cinderella, ordered chicken and biscuits. As we were having conversation about the days events at the conference, and unknown to the rest of us, Cinderella found a hair in her food. She did the polite thing and put it on a napkin without telling any of the rest of us. She figured it was just a random event and moved on with her meal. When she came upon the second hair in her food she brought it to our attention not mentioning that this was the second. We told her to complain but she told us it wasn’t that big of deal. As the rest of us dined I noticed that Cinda was just picking at her dinner. She wasn’t really consuming it at the rate the rest of us were devouring our food. Then it happened. Not to split hairs here… but Cinda found a third… we were floored… how does this happen? So, over the next twenty minutes we laughed about this so hard that one persons jaws began to hurt. Most of us found out that we have abs we didn’t know about. I know it’s not as funny to you… yet… we couldn’t stop laughing!
We did get free desert… and we did ask the manager if the same staff that prepared our meal would be preparing our dessert… she assured us it was a different group… hair net anyone?
