The story begins…
A girl runs off the bus towards her Mom yelling, “Mom, it’s worst thing that could have happened. It’s so horrible. I can’t believe it.”
“What happened?”
“It’s just so terrible… Alyssa’s brother went home sick today. We’ve been planning a sleep over for weeks and now it’s ruined.”
Obviously you can see just how tragic life truly is for eight-year-old girls!
Meanwhile… I was in Ft. Lauderdale for a job interview. I flew in Wednesday evening. Rick picked me up Thursday morning for the interview. We spent barely two hours together (that includes the travel time in his BMW). He had been traveling and couldn’t take me to lunch. Umm… OK, I guess I’ll just go to the airport and sit for the next FOUR AND A HALF HOURS. You spent how much to get me out here for two hours and you can’t take me to lunch?
My flight didn’t leave until 4:00 pm and there wasn’t anything earlier. Well, there was, but it wasn’t direct, would cost me $100 and would only get me back to Kansas City 45 minutes earlier. Now we are talking calamity!
During one of the most enjoyable moments in the airport terminal, Tim calls to tell me he’s headed to pick up Andy. The school nurse called and he just threw up. Apparently there is a virus running rampant. More misfortune.
Back to the true catastrophe… the Mom from above calls me. She doesn’t want her daughter to spend the night at our house and risk getting sick. The audacity!!! Alyssa will be spending the night at their house instead.
Don’t you wish everything was that easy to solve?!!

Oh if only it WERE that easy to resolve every situation!! Alas, those solutions seem like rare jewels we find along the way. =)
Good luck with the interview!
