A Few Good Men
When I went to the coffee cart to get the fruit man a tea on a very cold day, when I said who it was for, the guy said, “I know how he likes it,” giving me the largest cup. When I saw the heaps of sugar, I became doubtful, but later learned, that’s exactly how he takes it.
A few good men these days are hard to come by, unless you look where you least expect them. 🙂

I think goodness is magnetic, good people attract each other. It’s not surprising that you should be surrounded by good people.

It’s the simple, just doing a day’s work, crowd that tends to get my attention. Humility is always very attractive to me. Add a little humor and it’s a grand slam. 🙂

Good men, and people, are not easy to come by. Too many minds complicated by the “me” syndrome these days. If only they would stop and think about someone other than themselves, like the vendors in your neighborhood.

Like Mitch McConnell, who I wonder notices the vendors around the Capitol. Wanna flip for it? Tails, he doesn’t, and what was that? Heads he doesn’t?

I doubt it. His world revolves around Mitch, with little space for the great big world around him.
I pick BOTH! LOL

Well, he’s someone who evokes such a stir in me, his arrogance…his lack of spine. How he stayed in Trump’s pocket until Trump left, and even then, at his impeachment trial, couldn’t do the noble thing. The way he lambasted Liz Cheney for being an American first. Even his wife in the 11th hour, did the right thing by resigning. To sum it up…MITCH AND ALL THOSE LIKE HIM…BLOW!!!

There are lots of good men out there. They are usually humble, so they don’t always stand out in a crowd. I think you know that since you seem to recognize and know a good many of them. It’s wonderful that with your generosity you let them know you see them.

Very well put. Yes, that I see them. That’s really all any of us ever truly want, and that’s to be seen. To be counted, to have some presence in thus nutty world we inhabit. Thanks.

It’s a French term meaning…idler, or wanderer. One who observes as they stroll. 🙂

I looked it up before I read your comment here. I like the definition I found — “the ability to wander detached from society with no other purpose than to be an acute observer of industrialized, contemporary life.” You are certainly an acute observer of contemporary life. Maybe I would call you a cute observer. The word acute needed a space in it.

That’s a great definition of the word. The French have the strolling thing down. To wander detached. Love that Anne. ACUTE-E :). 🙂
