Went to lunch today with brother Tom, Chairman of the Board at the company I slave at home for.
It was a local popular charcoal burger joint. It started 1 block from where I went to HS but back in the 60's when my brother when to HS. Recognized the guy that took our monies. He worked in the back flipping burgers when I went to HS. He manages that store now. Told him I remembered him from when used to walk from school and get Onion Rings and a Dr Pepper at lunch. He said he did too, and it was still expensive even back then. I said yeah, it was $2 for an order of onion rings and a dr pepper in 1975. Even though they closed the original location and opened several others around town the place is pretty much exactly the same as it was back then. Don't know of many places like that.
Several people had to stop at our table and say hello to my brother. A lot of people know him and of him.
One guy said hi and all that stuff. He turned to me and said I better be careful hanging around that guy. Said, Yeah, I'm likely to get a good reputation.
A couple came by and talked about both their sons working for the company. Kept going on and on about how their boys such a good company. I finally had to say, "Well, they're still young. They'll learn." Everyone cracked up. Know their sons, they are in their late 40's.
When Bro dropped me off at home he said he really enjoyed lunch today. Said when Bob was visiting he askes him to get coffee a couple of times a day. usually right before a mealtime. And all Bob would talk about was UFOs or not having any money. Said Sorry, I couldn't really talk much about UFOs. All I know is from Si-Fi books and movies, but could always talk about wanting to get paid more. Tom drove off laughing.
Think I was brown nosing?
