Old Men & Coffee

So I was in Ye Olde Local Corporate Coffee Shop bright and early this AM as I was blessed with a Gift Card the day before.

Two old men were out and about having their coffee...leaning back in the chair talking, yet facing and watching the crowd. You've seen these old guys who like to go out and hang at the coffee store.

As I was awaiting my drink, I heard one starting to sing along with "Singing in the Rain" (and on key, mind you!). They then started to talk - outwardly as they weren't afraid of sharing - about gigs they used to do and this rolled out of the old David Gilmour-esqe dude: He started telling about how a woman paid his way to Africa because she wanted 'a horny young dude' back in the day. He did look rather happy. I smiled. I think he was amused someone actually overheard.

He did say he saw her again, eventually. And a nice woman, at that.
