THAT Was a Strange Week
So it started wtih a footrace against Joe Girardi. Then I hung out on a golf green with a two-time Masters champion. Then I turned around and -- there's Rick Warren. Then, out of the blue, a starter on the Patriots called me. Then I ran into Shaun Alexander and his wife.
I tripped a U.S. congressman. On accident, I promise.
Nothing against Joe G and Bernhard Langer and Ricky W., but these were my week's lowlights.
Cool guys, all. But this all this is God's irony, of course, because I seriously find celebrity-ism seriously amusing.
I had a weird week. My head is still spinning. I'm going to blog about some stories, about what I've learned about the Kingdom, and it all has nothing to do with celebrities. Quite the opposite. If you wish to come along, please do. I haven't thought through everything yet. One thing's for sure: I never thought I'd have this much to think about, at once, without leaving the U.S.
Now that I'm back online, I can start processing this stuff.
I laughed, I got patted down by the Secret Service for going to the bathroom, and I cried in front of a guy I'd met five minutes earlier, whom I'm convinced God wanted me to meet.
I also got an awesome new library card.
Welcome back! And congrats on the library card.

By putting your actual life ahead of your online life, you have demonstrated that your priorities are seriously fouled up. Glad you're coming to you senses.

Brant, do you have any idea how much this reads like the introduction to an Awesomely Bold Leaders chapter?
[From Brant: Oh, yes.]
