I am The Dumb, exhibit A

Recently I affirmed for myself that I am, in fact, The Dumb. Its not like I've never done dumb stuff before, but I thought I would start documenting it.  To take the sting out of it, I guess, and to make me laugh!


I signed up for the latest "Books and Brews" book club meeting but then hit a snag as the book I ordered for it never arrived.  So I thought I would attend the meeting anyway, just to listen in on the discussion and drink a beer with other adults out in public.  I made my way to the brewery on the scheduled day and time, found a table with a book club reserved sign on it, and sat down.
As people started to arrive, I thought, well, this is a different group of people than normally come, but everyone was so friendly.  And it wasn't until I had been sitting there almost an hour before I realized it was a completely different book club, reading a completely different book that I had never heard of, and at a different brewery than my group was meeting at. 
 What.
  So basically, I gatecrashed the other clubs' meeting and didn't even have anything to contribute to the conversation.  And no one there even questioned it.  But I did have a good beer.
And just to make up for my nonsense, I ordered the next book that this group is reading and signed up to legitimately attend the November meeting.
But I probably won't remind them I did that!

    1. It really was serendipitous! Maybe I need more of these happy little (dumb) accidents!

  2. Now that's a good chuckle adventure.
    Why that book didn't arrive? I'm a believer in things happening for a reason.

  3. That's hysterical! I actually just read a quote that said meeting new people is never an accident. Sounds about right in your case. Enjoy the book!!
