Off the Dallas...
12/02/2007
It’s 9:54 on a beautiful Saturday morning that is the 1st of December, 2007. This day finds Mother and I (“Mother” would be The Nancy) on an American flight heading for Dallas. We are going to see some very brave people and celebrate their birth, so to speak.
This weekend three years ago had me in Dallas finishing up the fourth day of five days of intense introspective known as the Millennium Advanced Workshop. A workshop that means the world to me and those who know me, but may not know that the man I am today is who I am because of Millenium3 Education (http://www.millennium3education.com). This weekend pilgrimage is done in support of and to honor these folks who have spent this time to find out who they are and what they are about. Most people really don’t want to know who they truly are or what they are about – facing a truth they have hidden for all their lives can be painful, while being the victim of it is so much easier. That’s all on that subject. I don’t want to frighten you. Just know the program, the three workshops I attended, is the best thing I ever did for me, and might be for you.
Trips to Dallas are not always so serious. We have a lot of fun there, as well. Dallas, we kind of hang in the outskirts of the city, is in an area of Texas that can best be described as flat, as in devoid of terrain. I look at Texas as basically flat and flatter. It’s so flat around Dallas there is no such thing as downhill. I was on the third floor of a hotel in Dallas the last time I was there and I swear I could see Houston in the distance; it’s that flat.
I don’t mean to belittle Dallas. I owe a lot to my days spent there. A friend of mine called me one time and told me he just had the best view of the City of Dallas he ever had, it was in his rearview mirror. I don’t feel that way about the city; I actually very much love my trips to Dallas. One of my favorite microbreweries is there, BJ’s on Beltline. Great place, good memories.
Did you know that Dallas spelled backwards almost spells salad?
And that is all I have to say about that…
