My father was always delighted to talk to anybody. As a teenager I
found it excruciatingly un-cool when he got into conversations with
gas-station attendants, toll collectors, waiters and waitresses, janitors,
and unknown passers-by, but I now understand what a wonderful thing it is
to meet the world that eagerly, and I find myself emulating his spirit
more and more.
Ditto to both parts of that! Never would have thought I'd take on that
particular characteristic, personally, as I'm still a confirmed introvert,
but I find myself almost 'working the room' like my preacher father and
politician grandpa.
