THE KID AND THE OLD MAN
Have you ever met someone for the first time and instantly like them?
I’m a 55 year old American, Thomas is a 22 year old German. We
have cycling as a common but it was more than that.
It was our joking back and
forth and the “kid" and "old man" names we gave one another almost instantly.
This kid was in shape and twenty two, I’m in okay shape but much older. I still have
that guy thing about competition, however with Thomas it was a playful competition, he would actually get me to think I could win.
Thomas spoke English fairly well and had
only been in America for about a week so I wanted to give him a good welcome. I wanted him to know an American who loves this country and am not ashamed of
our roll in the world, he will meet someone who will bad mouth this country
soon enough.
