Last Night I Faced Adversity And Tragedy With Typical Aplomb

I would replace my car with a sweet ride like this, but the cow would probably die and I like cows- especially when I'm eating them.










  • Yesterday Zac's mom called and asked if she could ride in to town with me (we work only blocks apart) since her car was down. Predictably, on the way home my car got a flat tire. Perhaps even more predictably the spare was also flat. As I started taking the offending tire off it started pouring rain.




  • The universe likes to jack with me.




  • What do we do now? she asked.




  • I don't know- want to make out?




  • I don't think so- you're dirty and wet.




  • That's the way it's supposed to be.




  • Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I do.




  • Anyway, she posted our predicament on Facebook. Her friend texted her and asked, "Um, what are you doing on the side of the road with your ex husband?"




  • Tell her we're making out.




  • All I could think on the way back to the car was wouldn't it be great if a semi going a hundred miles an hour just plowed over that stupid car? And the driver is the drunk son of a wealthy trucking company owner? And they pay me 100,000 dollars hush money?




  • After we got rolling again we stopped at Playa Maya to eat. Their cowboy enchiladas are great, especially since they're covered in about a quart of cheese sauce.




  • I did not dip them in the bowl of cheese sauce we had for the chips to make me feel better.




  • But, I was tempted.




  • Zac flirted with the waitress. She brought him a ball of tortilla dough to play with. He made what I thought was a frog out of it and then got mad at my perception of his scultpure and wouldn't tell me what it actually was.




  • Lots of car fail here, but at 4:20 you'll see me.
