Please keep in mind that I am paraphrasing for posterity’s sake, because we gave up on sanity around here a long time ago.
Me: Hey, will you do me a favor?
Derek: Depends. What is it?
Me: Will you go to an art gallery?
Derek: Could you be a little more specific?
Me: There’s an art exhibit that ends today at Gallery 2306 and I’m not going to make it there before they close and it’s my favorite photographer, Kevin Bubriski. I just found out about it today. Will you go and see the exhibit and then tell me all about it?
Derek: OK.
Dude…you can’t have someone substitute for YOU in a social venue!!!
AND, does Derek have impeccable art taste? you can’t just send ANYONE in your place!!
And, yes,….this IS crazy…
This sounds perfectly reasonable to me, as I like art, but museums make me feel barfy. So I send Nick as a surrogate, and he tells me about it. Doesn’t usually tell me much, but he, you know, tells me stuff. So you are both officially not crazy.
I have to do overtime later today, on a SATURDAY.. damn it.. can you ask DEREK to fill in for me?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
