Yesterday as I grabbed a combo slice at CostCo, an old friend waved from 4 tables over and sat down to eat with me. Dave and I enjoyed twenty minutes together dripping cheese and pepperoni and catching up on the news.
When he heard what I was up to he told me two recent happenings for him. Apparently, a couple of months ago he had just bought a fancy new digital clock that projects the time onto his bedroom ceiling. Shortly after, he awoke suddenly at 3:10 a.m. to see the numbers flash on ceiling. The next morning he found his 90 year-old mother had passed on. You guessed it. 3:10 a.m.
Dave is one of those guys who enjoys life and has the friends to prove it. His second story follows. One of his old gang had died and he and his drinking buddies got together within the week at their old hangout by the beach.
In their dead buddy's honor, and to share stories of their good times together, they all ordered up shots of tequila. Just as Dave reached over to pick up his shot glass for the toast, and with everyone watching, the shot glass slid across the bar top.
It was definitely one more for old times sake.
