the man…Rock Bottom


His smile is bigger than he is as I approach.

“Ah…here comes my friend!”
“Hi, how are you today, Rock Bottom??”
“WELL! My firend. You come and join me for a drink.”
“Oh I can’t. We are on our way to SMB.”

Rock Bottom bags up my stuff and tosses in a couple of presents for me. He’s a sincere sweetheart. I pay, we hug good bye and I head out.
