Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night

Do you have a person in your neighborhood who you love to visit with every time that you run into them. Many years ago I had an admin position at a brokerage firm. Before 9/11 and around the time of all of the bank and brokerage mergers. I was one of the first to get laid off, best thing that ever happened to me. Anyhow the point of my story is that one of my regular customers from the brokerage was a distinguished older gentleman. He is one of those people who just lights up a room. He lives about two blocks from my house and I frequently run into him. I could listen to him tell stories for hours. I live in a fairly populated area where it isn't really like Malta or any other small country town. People keep to themselves and keep extremely busy. Months or even years can go by and you can lose yourself not to mention your friends. But I always seem to run into this gentleman. I suppose it would be great to have him over for dinner once in awhile too. He lost his wife a few years back, so I believe that the next thing I will do during a reasonable hour is give him a call and invite him. Why would I have to move back to Malta to get that small town hospitality. That is where I grew up and what I used to know. It's time to start living like that right where I am.
