We older folk get caught up in our businesses and daily lives too much and worry about the economy and such. Sometimes you have to get around young people and get a fix. I shot over at Elon University the other day among students in class and on break, and was struck by the pure optimism and enthusiasm that flowed from them. Wish I could hook a hose up to them and siphon off a bit.

I stopped by Alvin’s Automotive in Grays Chapel, North Carolina on Saturday morning to get my car inspected. I found Alvin Ward, my cousin’s husband, changing the oil in a car. When he’s not restoring old cars, Alvin’s provides repair and maintenance for neighborhood vehicles and acts as a center for local news and entertainment.
