Adventures with Pastor Scott…

As transparent as he is (see earwax illustration, shower obsession blog post, among others), I recognize that I have the privilege, or sentence, as the case may be, of seeing Scott up close and in unique situations; most recently, on our trip to Dallas.

From day one we've had to adjust to Scott's energy. Sometime we should put him up against the Energizer Bunny. One, to see Scott in a pink bunny suit would be worth it, but I'm guessing he'd outlast that furry little generator. Well, when you have to awake somewhere during the 4AM hour for a half-day long trip, you do so hoping to have a quiet two-hour ride to the airport; right? Not gonna happen with Distler along. And in those rare opportunities to catch some shut-eye in between conversation topics, you don't dare slip off into unconsciousness for fear that your name be mentioned in a less-than admirable light, and your comotose state rendering you unable to defend your honor.



During the flight once the conversation fire had dwindled to but a few embers the thought occurred to me to share one of my earphone buds with him so he could enjoy the DVD I was watching, but recalling his earwax issues I thought better of it.



I won't break too many of his confidences, but for those planning to go on the next Israel trip, I can report that Scott is beta testing the team's uniforms. He's swearing by it, economical, stylish by his standards and by his account, extremely comfortable.



Pastor's directional issues have also been well documented. Thus far we haven't gotten lost, mind you we've circled and circled our exact destination multiple times without reaching it, but we've known exactly where we were and where we wanted to be; how to get there just kept changing.



Maybe there will be more from Dallas as the week progresses, maybe not.
