Reckless Abandon
Perhaps “wreckful” is more appropriate. It all started a few days after Christmas. I was shopping at Pottery Barn at the shops by my parents house. I saw some rad looking picture frames that were fifty percent off. I reached up to grab three boxes and BAM! I didn’t know what the hell was happening. But, seemingly - three or four of the display frames decided to play dominos and come crashing to the floor at my feet. Oh ya. There were only about 400 people who turned to stare at me. I raised my hand as if to claim the party foul, then took a bow. People went on shopping while I kept a pretty shady of ruby red.
A few nights later I was out to dinner with Reed and Kristen just as the sushi was served I reached for some ginger or something and manged to punch my water glass which managed to knock over our sake. Oh, and the glass punch sent a steady stream of water into Reed’s crotch. Awesome red moment #2!
I know #3 happened but apparently I have blocked it from my memory.
And then today, I was flying back from Chicago sitting next to some very pleasant cattle ranching folk. I have no idea what the hell happened but somehow I manged to knock my ice water directly onto my crotch. I’ve never seen a cattle rancher move so fast. The lady grabbed her 2 inch by 2 inch napkin and rushed it my way. The damage was done however. I made a few off color jokes about being the only guy on the airplane with a wet crotch, yadda yadda, and the pleasantly sat in moist jeans for the remainder of the flight. I wonder when this disaster streak will end…
