Monday Morning Memo

From the “I Swear I’m Not Making This Up” Department:
“You Have Eyes Just Like My Dog”

When Bert Lord (left) was eating Italian food at Trattoria Lisina during the 2009 Plaid Shorts event at Wizard Academy, he looked up at a startlingly pretty waitress and – wanting to impress her – said, “You have eyes just like my dog.”

Everyone at the table laughed, of course.

Bert, flustered and confused, said,
“But my dog has beautiful eyes!”

Flash forward 2 years: Bert falls in love with Battie (right,)
and asks her to marry him. She miraculously says Yes.
They get married on a Saturday, hop on a plane and
fly WHERE for their honeymoon?

You guessed it.
Bert and Battie were part of the Marshmallow Surprise class
at Wizard Academy 2 days later.

You’ll meet Bert and Battie at the Gala Grand Opening of the Tower
on April 23 (assuming we get our occupancy permit on time.)
Battie has agreed to dress up like a pirate with Bert
and help him host the nautical quarterdeck.  

Gosh, she must really love this guy.

Random Quote:

“In 2006, an ultrasound exam discovered enough stones in my gallbladder to pave a Zen walkway. A few weeks later, I had the rock-strewn organ removed. The surgery went pretty well, but I was kept in the hospital overnight. I was also pumped full of happy juice. The drug’s identity I do not know, but with it singing in my veins, pushing my mental pedal to the metal, I was merrily awake all night long, during which time I wrote an entire self-help book in my head.

I’m neither kidding nor exaggerating. Hour after hour, paragraph after paragraph, page after page, chapter after chapter, I composed an entire self-help book. Toward dawn, I finally fell asleep, however, and when they woke me several hours later, the only part of the book I could recall was its title: How to Lose Every Hand and Still Come Out a Winner. If only I could have remembered the accompanying text, there is no doubt whatsoever that the book would have sold twenty million copies and placed me in the company of mega-motivator Tony Robbins. Maybe that’s why I forgot it.”

- Tom Robbins, Tibetan Peach Pie, p. 126-127
