Business travels:
            There was a time in my life when I would have to go to places like Houston, New Orleans, and Memphis on business. I loved going because big city folks are a hoot. Once in New Orleans, I was strolling down Bourbon Street and approached a woman who Dustin Hoffman as The Rain Man would have described as “sparkly”. As I passed she said, “You got the time?” and I said, “Sure, it’s 7:45.” She gave me a look of disgust as if I was some dumb hillbilly. I thought, “Well, I may be a dumb hillbilly, but at least I know what time it is.”
            Another time in Memphis, one of my cohorts and I were going to breakfast and past two men feverishly searching their pockets in front of an office door. One was older and one was younger. Both men wore nice three-piece suits and carried brief cases. They were very stylish and looked the executive type. They were obviously locked out and looking for their keys. The older man had his brief case open, and he was telling the younger one to check his as well. When he reluctantly did so, it was absolutely empty except for what looked like a cheese sandwich, but he sure looked good carrying it.
