Murphy's Law

Doesn't it figure. I perfectly planned evening -- 2 events with friends -- just slowly goes crazy. It started by me adding another thing to do (helped a friend at the gym). No worries, got to the gym, spotted him, chatted while lifting, changed and on my way to the first event. My car had a different idea. First my CD seemed to skip. Hmm...ok, take out CD. Then the radio skipped! EEEKK! That is not a good sign. As I impatiently waited at stop lights revving the engine in neutral, I figured out my plan of attack. Get to gas station (needed gas anyway). Called my friend I just helped at the gym to get the car jumped so I could get to Checkers. I will plug the Checkers at 19th Ave & Northern -- Rob, the Assistant Mgr -- was extremely helpful and even installed my new battery! Needless to say after all that I missed my first event :( Got to the second one and was able to relax some and visit with my friends. Looking back at my timeline, if I hadn't gone to the gym I would've been stuck on Thomas Road waiting forever for AAA to come jump my car. So, I guess Murphy has some method to his madness......
