Copperfield

Monday mornings are not my best mornings. As I have described before, most pastors suffer from holy hangover on Mondays. It takes me several hours to get enough energy to do anything productive. However this past Monday I got up at 5.30 to help my friend Jimmy drop his car off at the mechanic before he went to work. We had to drive about 20 minutes and I was drained. I was listening to the radio on the way trying to wake up when the DJ came on and said they were giving away David Copperfield tickets. Listeners were encouraged to call a certain number and try and win.

I rarely do these type of things but I was bored and trying to wake up and so I called - once I remembered the number. Here is basically how the conversation went ...

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Me: "Wow I can't believe it is actually ringing."

102.7: "Hey you are caller number 7."

Me (yawning): "Is that a good thing?" (I didn't even know what number I was supposed to be)

102.7: "Yes you are our lucky winner."

Me (with moderate enthusiasm at best): "Cool"

102.7 (long pause): "You just woke up didn't you?"

Me: "Yes"

102.7: "Give us your name, address, etc. and come by during office hours to get your tickets."

Me: Information given...."cool"

102.7 (live back on the air): "Our lucky winner was Devin in North Vegas who obviously just got up."


You never know when an inconvenience will turn reward on you. I am now the owner of great over $100.00 a piece seats to see one of the greatest illusionist ever. Cool.
