A Welcome Interjection

As we settled into our airplane seats, I admired the flight attendant's classic bright blue uniform  - complete with pillbox hat! - in a private comment to Steve.

The gentleman in the row ahead of us overheard my comment and turned in his seat. "Aaaah, the old Pan Am uniform." He then regaled us with tales of a circa 1970 Pan Am flight from Jamaica to New York City. "Best flight of my life...."

"Oh, except the Air France flight from Paris to New York City. First class ticket; they poured the finest wine and oh! everything was just exquisite...."

Some people object to strangers interjecting themselves into private conversations, but I welcome the intrusion, because I am so often enriched by the experience.

So here's to our fellow traveler on the Denver to NYC flight - thank you for sharing the best of your travelog with us. And here's to interjectors everywhere: Welcome to my conversation! I can't wait to meet you.
