This morning, woke up and went to a cafe in small town Alabama. Got a sandwich on a biscuit, coffee, key lime pie. Oh my goodness!
As I was eating the wonderfully delicious key lime pie, an older gentleman walked in. Seeing me enjoying the pie, he greeted me. I invited him over, and we got to talking.
The man spoke in a hoarse whisper, often very difficult to understand. He also carried with him a paper notebook and pen, which he used to write down and draw things that were difficult for me to understand. His handwriting was wavery, and I also found it difficult to understand.
The man told me of his topsy turvy life. He had been a big man, and he once had a family, all of whom he lost suddenly. In the case of his first wife, he soon found out that she had only a few months left to live. He had become an outlaw, and went to prison. Many other adventures happened. Overall he maintained a positive, even enthusiastic attitude, seeing life as wonderful!
And it is.
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
