Samaritan House Lunch

Yesterday, December 20, 2016;

(Apologies, no picture, it looked so tasty I forgot)

Nothing special, comfort food, a hot dog, cole slaw and baked beans.

But well presented, seemed to hit the spot.

One of the volunteers present was a 16 year old BHS (Bentonville High School) student, who seemed to know my table companions.  This is part of my ongoing personal struggle here, yes, I would not have been (not) introduced to the young lady if I had not sat with them;  But the two gentlemen I sat with did never gave me an opportunity to contribute to the discussion.  OK, everyone is special and needs an opportunity to tell their story,  I have some really compelling current news (My Mother died last Wednesday, December 14, 2016, among other things) and I could have made a material contribution to the discussion of work in the 1970s. 

Nope, not an opportunity to say a word.

Oh well.
