In the Parking Lot of Applebee's

Tonight we went to see Katie dance at a football game and then headed to Applebee's for dinner. We stood around for a while and visited until only me, Manny, and Brent were left. We see each other very rarely anymore so we were catching up. Late in the conversation, Brent stops mid-sentence and says, "Look - they're gonna sing a tag!" We turn to see a group of four older women turning to face each other in the parking lot. We chuckle and then realize that they really are about to sing a tag! We walked over and met a quartet that was in town have a rehearsal. They were the nicest ladies! We didn't get to sing together but barbershop was discussed. The guys got their quartet's card and we all said good night.

Not many people will understand why that was a fun moment and that is OK. There is something unique about being a part of this group. I've been associated with barbershop for three years now and have grown to love both the hobby and the people. An instant bond is formed and you have a connection. It's like being at church or running into someone and finding out they are a Christian too. How special it is!
