Meeting with Drew

Yesterday I had a meeting with Drew. Drew is our Technologist. His responsibilities include overseeing the website, and use of Technology in our large group gatherings. We talked about what that might look like, and I felt we had a good discussion of ideas, which he had worked on by the time he saw me later that night.

Now Drew works for a government contractor and invited me to his building to come and visit. He gave me the address, and said, "I'll let you map your own directions" Which is great except that Google maps told me to exit off 295 on the NSA exit. Yes, that's the one that says, "EMPLOYEES ONLY". But I had google maps! It clearly showed that at the top of the ramp I would make a right, and the building would be not far. So I exited, came to the top of the ramp, and saw a sign that says, "No Right Turn". So I bore to the left hoping that there would be some kind of traffic circle to bring me around, only to find that I was corralled into the clutches of meeting with the Police of our National Security Agency. They were very kind, and after a discussion on the reason for my visit, they let me go. Although, I think there have been black helicopters following me ever since. No really it was fun, I think anyone who has grown up in this area, and is starting a church here, ought to get off on that exit, just for the experience.

Anyways, I went and met with Drew. He wanted to know why I was late. I told him that I was dealing with matters of National Security. He roled his eyes.
