This week I met the same
gentleman in line as I did last week. Last week it was 11am on the
Tuesday and this week it was 10am on Wednesday. He said he was hoping he
would see me today when he arrived (this time I was in front of him). He
said he felt so lucky that we had both come again on the same day, albeit a
different day and time, like it was meant to happen.
Who would have thought that we
would both connect again in this manner? He made me feel good when he
said he enjoyed our conversation last week and hoped he would see me again to
continue it.
Another older gentleman arrived
after him, about his same age (I would guess 20 years older than myself) and he
also joined in our conversation which lasted about 15 minutes.
This time, we talked about the old
ABC beach - the Atlantic Beach Club - that was on South Road and the many
amazing and talented musicians and singers (male and female) Bermuda had at
that time.
Marketing and advertisements on
TV were discussed, and we talked about how different they are now from when TV
first came out and how expensive they are and the subliminal messages they give
the TV viewing audience.
We talked about the facemasks,
COVID, flu and "purging" society of the sick and only the strong
surviving.
It was so entertaining
listening and talking with these two gentlemen. They were eager to talk,
and I lapped it up. When we parted, the gentleman said so sadly that he
may not bump into me again, but he enjoyed talking with me. We wished
each other well.
This was a fascinating second
opportunity to see this kind gentleman, and to have some friendly conversation
and learn a little along the way. Every day is a learning day. I am
thankful.
