I’m in San Diego. So far I’ve seen the airport, Alamo, the job site and my hotel. They’re not very interesting. Ok, fine. My hotel room, or rather suite, is pretty cool. I’m staying at the Embassy Suites so don’t think I’m special because I have a suite, every guest has one. It’s actually kind of like my apartment minus the kitchen and big screen TV. Not so shabby.
Yesterday was a long ass day of travelling and I would have wanted to kill myself if it wasn’t for my seat mates on the flight from Minneapolis to San Diego. Yes I had a layover in Minneapolis and it sucked. Especially the walk from the gate I landed at to the one where my next plane took off. I swear it was at least a mile. But I digress. The two gentlemen that sat next to me were very kind and talkative. Anybody that knows me knows I’m not to keen on talking to total strangers. But these guys won me over.
Oh I should probably add that I’m not very religious, in fact I don’t even belive in God. So the next thing I’m going to say might shock you.
They were Pastors. These young, good looking guys were Pastors. I could not believe my luck when they told me. Of course I would end up sitting next to God lovers. However, they were everything I didn’t expect them to be. Well, our conversations did get a little preachy at times but I don’t think they can help that.
Both of them turned to God after having troubles in their lives and they became Pastors because they truly want to help people. They work at the same church counselling teens.
We talked about anything and everything and actually agreed on some things. They even asked me why I didn’t believe in God and accepted my answer and didn’t try to convert me! They made the 3 1/2 hour flight fly by and I only wish I could sit next to them on my flight back. The best part was that Jim Gaffigan is one of the guy’s brother-in-law. And if you watch “My boys,” Jim’s wife on the show is his actual wife in real life!
It’s crazy the people you can meet. I might just start talking to my seat mates on planes more often.
That’s awesome! I just hope you weren’t flying SouthWest, because, you know, you’re never flying SouthWest again
I’d be afraid that it was some kind of sign…as long as they didn’t try to baptise you in the bathroom. If they did, you should at least sneak up to 1st class (more room and a lot cleaner).
