I WAS ESCORTED OUT OF A MEXICAN RESTAURANT last month, according to one eyewitness.

On the face of it, that’s pretty darn shocking. What in the world did I do to earn that ignominious boot? Stand on a table top and preach? Was I rough and rude with my server? Or, worse yet, did I leave a lousy tip?

I haven’t been back to the Hill Country Senior Citizens Activity Center since being unceremoniously booted out by the manager three weeks ago. (Read what happened by clicking here.) But today, I returned. After getting yelled at and having the door slammed on me by the Center’s manager for talking to her about Jesus I

It was bound to happen: the showdown. I lost. For now. It had been brewing for some time because the manager never liked me. Here’s a re-cap of what led to my getting the boot today: On Wednesdays for over a year now, I head down to the Hill Country Senior Citizens Activity Center and
