A man was sitting outside of the nursing home. I smiled and gave him a bouquet of flowers. I asked him if he was retired but that was just a polite type of question. He was in a wheelchair and looked well past retirement age.

I have two Master’s degrees, one in electrical engineering and one in computer science. I worked with the Rear Admiral on top security projects for my whole career. I went to the University of PA. Will you please excuse me for a minute? I will probably be back. That was my room-mate who just came in on that stretcher from the ambulance. He was in the hospital for a week. I want to give him the flowers as a WELCOME BACK present.
