Wayne lost his job when the factory closed down. Now he works at Taco Bell on University, but the one further down on Neil. He rides his bike around to the Union on campus or sometimes to the newly constructed public library. He tells me he learns stuff by listening to the students and watching the news on the tvs. He's also decided to start writing his memoirs. He's got free time, anyway, what else is he supposed to do?
"Tell me something a man can do," he challenges me, "you name it, I've done it." My mind fails me and I manage a look of stupidity, baffled by the simple question. Easter bunny? Done it. Santa Claus. Yup
I ask myself: can the richness of life lie not as much in what we do but how we do it?
