I ran into Mr John Lawton at the grocery store this evening – very nice gentleman, quite soft-spoken. I’d never met him until this evening, so he probably thinks that I’m a bit strange for approaching him and telling him, quite simply, “thank you.” Turns out we were parked next to each other in the parking lot, so as I was getting ready to drive out and noticed him approaching his motorcycle (!), I explained to him that the “thank you” was for his service as our City Manager.
hmmm, for some reason, when I come across Prince John, ‘thank you’ is about the last thing I think…
Yeah, Sally, but David is waaay nicer than us.
Yeah, it’s probably true…my default reaction when meeting someone for the first time is to be deferential and courteous.
Sometimes I might be a little *too* deferential to authority…must be the military side of me!
Well, thank you for being the official nice guy!
