Each day that I walk through the Gore Park, I am greeted by an elderly gentlemen named Jack. I dont care, how many times I tell him my name, he insists on calling me Robert! At first, I must admit, I was really annoyed by it! But, Jack is in his 90s you see, and, hes been around long enough, to fluff a name or two, so, I got used to it. Now when I see him, the name Robert is expected, and, we do our usual fist bump, and Im on my way to breakfast! This morning, as on cue, I was greeted once again by Jack. But, to my surprise, he called me FRED!!! I was shocked, but, a bit delighted that he finally got my name correct! Any way, Jack, reached in his pocket, and pulled out a picture, and wanted me to view it! It was a picture, of Jack, while serving time in the military. Standing next to Jack, was a black guy, that kinda resembled my father. When I asked who was that handsome fella in the picture with him, he said, Thats Robert! You always looked like him to me! And then, it all made sense! Just another one of those wow moments, in the life of Fred, aka Robert. Happy Wednesday!
