The Unexpected Life

One day on my mission my companion and I were driving home for lunch. The car rolled to a stop at a red light. We waited patiently for our turn to drive again, discussing the current situation with an investigator, when (out of the blue) a man crossing the street leaped onto the hood of our car like Spider Man. He proceeded by marching up our windshield, over the top of the car, down the back, and hopped down onto the sidewalk to go his merry way.

He was very nonchalant, but you can only imagine the stunned silence that ensued on our part.

Life is exactly like this situation. It leaps unexpectedly; it throws real curve balls sometimes, and is often very nonchalant about the whole matter.

In the end, my companion and I laughed. It gave us a good story to tell.

That, too, is like life. Sometimes we can look back at the unexpected and laugh. And if we can’t laugh, at least we have a story to tell.

Hiya. No. That's okay. Unless you want to just do the experiment with me. Otherwise, I can just read.

What did this guy look like? Was he kind of blondish about 6' and kind of glazed eye? I'm thinking I might know him. He's a member, a little on the less-active side, but he love Spidey.
