Yesterday, while in my "office" I tried to help someone an as a result got into an interesting conversation. To set the stage, I saw/heard Kevin talking with another customer about apartments. Showing my usual restraint (none), I went over, introduced myself and proceeded to tell her about the agency I had used and a couple of other possibilities. She called Richard, left a message and sat back in anticipation.
As we did the usual,"where are you from, do you like Rome?" thing, two more friends came by and now its a party of four. My new friend Lara is a lawyer and she is from Malta. Nigist , an architectural student from Ethiopia married to Philipp an economist from Switzerland...stage...Roma, only Roma!
So here I sit, an old delivery driver discussing topics, situations and life just down the the street from the opening set (S.Andrea della Valle) of a world renowned opera. You gotta' love it!
The feeling is that we Americans are more "open" and they have their own back-up stories to prove it. Me? Guess I'm another story!
This is my on line "Collector's Cabinet". It is non-profit and haphazard at best. I leave it to you to sort through and make sense of.The views are mine. The collection reflects some of my interests. But the material must be credited to the vast internet. Otherwise, I never would have been able to amass such a treasure trove. The purpose of this exercise is entertainment, naturally mine, but even more so yours. So, please let me know if anything strikes a chord with you.
