BUFFY THE LIFE SLAYER

I was examining the "table readings" provided by a cutesy, theme restaurant. Among the color pictures of desserts the size of which do not exist in the real world and the variety of beers offered so you will not realize how short changed you're getting on dessert, was a rather curious card which read:

"I am EMPOWERED to make sure that you ESCAPE FROM THE EVERYDAY.
If you need anything just ask!"

This preprinted 3 X 5 card was signed by Buffy, the waitress.

Do you really need to "escape from the everyday?" Even if you think you do, do you really believe Buffy could do it for you? If she could, who empowered her to make your life more exciting?

"Everyday" is what makes up your life. Every big and important or little and inconsequential thing you do added together equals the sum total of your existence. Why would you want to "escape" from that which makes you up?

Buffy, stick to apologizing for the desserts.

Lesson: Without everything that has happened in your life, you'd be someone else.
