One Corner, Two Hours, Three Men

Photo by the Cameraman :)
“So what, you checking your EF Hutton?” Why I even began a conversation with this gentleman while completing my morning walk and stairclimb exercise, well ~~ it’s just what I do.

Larry and I conversed for better than an hour, learning that his career had been as a cameraman for a local news outlet. Pretty cool learning about a trade that is quite fascinating. As well, we chatted about his preteen granddaughter who is quite the golfer. Perhaps even pro one day.

While in the midst of our chat Greg approached asking if either of us knew of a local barber. Telling us that he was new to the area, I suggested the two that I was aware of. Though with COVID, I’ve purchased a Remington palm trimmer and ~~ well, other than Mexico trips, I haven’t seen a barber for a year and a half. Perhaps it shows :)

So ~~ here were three sixty plus dudes, never having met, who carried on with conversation like we had known each other since childhood. Conversation included many things ~ hey, we’re old & we’re men ~ that’s what happens :) Anyway, our discussion veered towards our faith and relationship with Christ.

When all was said and done … on that ‘one corner’ … for ‘two hours’ … these ‘three men’ enjoyed a very pleasant morning together.

The moral of the story ~~ slow down, be available, and learn the story of another. 


 
 
Just having fun on guitar :)
 
 
The mural in the background of the photo ~~ why is it significant?
