ORIGINAL: JWE So there I was going down to the corner store for some more Fat Dog Ale for V Day and the Olympics, and there was Mousa. Syrian christians bought the store and there's a poopload of nephews and cousins workin the counter. Mousa's cool, a righteous, straight up man. So I cruise in and Mousa is perplexed; "jonnn .. can you help me? I must know how is 'all" to spell. Is it "al" or "alle"? He was texting a VD message to his squeeze, and his English bites the mighty wazoo. One thing leads to another and we ended up with a text of "Happy Valentines day. I send you all my love and give you all my days." The 'all my days' thing was something Mousa really wanted in there; some Arabic thing, perhaps. M'kay, that was good, out it went, and off I go to the cooler to get some beverages. I come back to the counter, and Mousa is literally in tears. He can't speak. He hands me his phone, and there is his GF's text back: "I love you" Every now and then, life seems to whack us in the ass, just when it's least expected and most useful. Great story John. And it's really great to have you back!
