Today had to be about the best day I’ve had in months, for five reasons:
1) I woke up at eleven. Yeah, you heard me right.
2) I spent two hours at the coffee shop with God, Sara Groves (via my iPod), a carmel macchiato, and John chapter 15. I hadn’t felt more refreshed and encouraged in I don’t know how long.
3) I went to Weldon Barber for the first time. Men, if you are ever in the Spokane area, going to this place is a must. I’m not quite sure what it’s like when ladies go to the spa, but this must be the masculine equivalent. I entered into a large lobby with soft leather furniture and a huge plasma TV showing basketball. The girl at the desk greeted me, gave me a complimentary soda of my choice, and told me it would be about a 15 minute wait. After perusing Money magazine for a bit, another girl came out and got me, and then put a hot towel over my eyes while washing my hair, cut my hair, gave me a hot towel shave with a straight-edge razor, then washed my hair again to get rid of all the annoying clippings that usually itch for the rest of the day (along with another hot towel), and then offered me another drink as I was leaving. All for $20. For another four bucks (which I will certainly pay next time), I could have gotten a scalp massage as well. I left still taking in the great odor of the shaving gel she used. My “refreshed” feeling was now increased by a factor of ten.
4) Poker night with the guys. We quit after about four hours with two of us still at the table. Dave had the most by far, but I doubled my money, so I’m happy.
5) Poker night wouldn’t be poker night without the essential ingredients: beer and stogies. We also threw in barbequed bratwursts for good measure. I can still taste the cigar in my teeth and smell it in my sweater.
Ah…
