How many Master's degrees does it take to open a sliding glass door?

Hey Gang, I went to see Geo over in Garland last night. We went to watch the Virginia Tech game with the DFW VA Tech Alumni association. It was a blast. We ate, watched the game and I litterally made a fool of myself. (You'll have to check Geo's blog for the story.) It was great getting to see Geo once again.
As most of you know, when Geo and I hang out there are many stories that need to be told afterwards. This meeting was no different. However, there will be a slight change in the way that the events of last night will be told. Usually Geo tells the stories in his own creative way, and with his own creative slant. Well, since I am the first to blog about this evening, I will write the history in a true and fair way.
Bonnie and I went to Geo's apartment for a little pre-game chit chat and to check out his new apartment. We walk into Geo's second floor apartment to the usual greetings and Geo begins to show us around. We get to see the living room, the kitchen, the workout room, etc. Then Geo takes us outside to the balcony. Well, we all get out on the balcony, and Geo proceeds to close the door. When Geo closes the door, the security bar on the inside of the sliding glass door falls into place, and locks us out of the house! We all begin to assess the situation. Immediately, Geo begins to think of how to get down from the balcony and to the front door. He also calls Bill and Julie to see if they can come open the door for us. The problem is that he has locked the front door with a lock that is only on the inside, so this won't work. We finally decide to try to jimmy open the door. So we look for tools and find... a pamphlet! That's right folks... a pamphlet. But luckily, with the combined intellect of three Bachelor's degrees, and several gazillion hours of Master's training we got the door open and were freed from our entrapment. Geo, there is never a dull moment with you around!

I am not sure I have laughed that hard in a long time! I think that Chris forgot to mention that it took all three of us to get the door open. While Chris pried his fingers to open the door enough to let Geo slide the pamphlet through the two doors in order to move the security bar, I had the illustrious job of actually sliding the door open, on the count of three of course.

I will remember our exile on the balcony for a long time!

OK-- Now that Chris has told his side of the story.... I will tell mine. Check geo's blog for an update soon (but not right now because I'm watching the FL State/ Miami game).

In any case-- it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed having you over (even if you really are the one that locked us out).

Bonnie, email me a the pic of chris with the pompom on his head please.

Thanks...
geo
