The Old Dude

Cold beers are being passed through the crowd.  Before Buffet starts ‘Cheeseburger in Paradise’ he says, “You know, we’re all on this big ball together so keep that music going on in your heart.”

My friends turn to me, jumping, “is this really happening?!? Jimmy Buffet is playing like two feet away from us! Vic, can you believe it?”

I stand in stupor and sip from my Red Stripe and nod yes, “I can.”
