The southern morning McDonalds crew

Got up this morning to a chilly chilly morning....car temp said 47 degrees

Went to McD's and scoped around for possibilities. Those who might
let me talk to them and maybe join them.

Thru the window I saw a group of old cold guys in the corner.

A 50 yr old reddish/blonde haired guy with those big black rimmed glasses.

2 men sitting by themselves but showing interest in any conversations.

One conversation of special interest, was the white woman with sort of gray hair and lips that keep moving
in a discussion with an empty chair.

I got my coffee and breakfast sandwich and moved near the men in the corner.

Sat at a high table with high chairs within casual friendship distance.

The were talking about Mass. politics.

The blonde guy, sitting at a table to my left,
started talking to me. He was from Minn and today was his first day
at a job in painting signs. He wanted to buy a house with a pool short/handed??
but everyone was giving him a problem.....OK....

I could tell he was a little different. He was lonely and had been out of a job for a long time.

He talked and talked but then somehow, I was able to get involved with the corner guys.

They were around my age, some younger some older. After a few minutes I said C'ya and left.
I didn't want to wear out my first contact welcome.

Maybe I'll try again tomorrow
but this morning we have a donut social in the recreation room
at 9:30am.

Ummmm, donuts.....
