Another (Embarrassing) Day In The Life (Part 2)
I arrived at Dustin's shop at just the right time. The lunch crowd had come and gone, and Dustin was sitting by himself eating one of his tasty creations. I sat down next to him and we talked about work, the weather, the normal stuff. Religion came up, and he listened patiently while I explained what Jesus did and my beliefs about hell and other things. Then he basically said "That's nice, but can you stop talking about religion now? I don't care." Not exactly the response I was looking for, but what can I do? He heard truth. I ordered a chicken sandwich (it was especially tasty that day) and said goodbye. With 2 more appointments to go, things were looking up.
While shopping at the big grocery store last week, a couple of kids were handing out notices of a theater group try-out coming up. Thinking it would be a good way to meet people, and not having anything much better to do, I decided to give it a whirl. So, Thursday I headed down to the community center and waited for the try-outs to start.
Now you may be thinking, how can a foreigner do theater? How can a guy who still easily gets lost in conversations become a semi-professional actor? Well, I wish you had asked me that before Thursday night...
