s and i were scheduled for lunch at 11:30 , but true to his word , my skinny bag boy delivered the goods sooner . their conversations were stiff and formal . i nodded every now and then so shed think i was listening , but my mind raced . i just think it was a once upon a time type thing like dinosaurs . she went to a door , opened it , said a few words , and came back towards him . would he have any practical advice to offer ?
