This borders on braggin' - and that is certainly not my intent. 


But I wanted to share a little joy with you. I stood in line behind an older couple the other day. After checking out, the gentleman noticed a harmonica by the register. He regretted not seeing it sooner and, as the cashier was bagging their items,  regaled me with stories of how his father could make a harmonica "talk". 


I suggested he buy it and give it a shot. He briefly considered it, but, like we all do, thought of every reason why he shouldn't and followed his wife out the door.


 As I handed my purchases to the cashier, I decided to throw that harmonica in there. As soon as she rang it up, I threw it to one of my crew members and he hastily chased down the gentleman and handed it to him. 


There were a thousand reasons why I shouldn't have done that, but sometimes you just have to give in to a whim and not think about it.


 So in your travels, if you see an elderly gentleman making a harmonica talk - make sure you stop and listen. And give in to those positive whims!
