What Wildness Comes Next?

Last night as my wife and I ate dinner at Wendy's in Brevard, NC (yes. I know we are big spenders), we overheard five ladies talking. Here is the truth.


1. They are all over 60.

2. They have dinner and play cards there at Wendy's every Sunday night after church -every Sunday.

3. They were feeling a bit racy last evening since they had 'skipped' church and started playing cards an hour earlier than usual.


Wild times in Brevard, I tell you. I'm not sure it is truly safe to be there on a Sunday evening! What will happen next - Dogs and cats sleeping together?


Seriously, I found the entire scene delightful and worthy of a movie script.

  1. In time this could be either one of us. I wonder what our Sunday after church Wendy's activities will consist of in 15 years? Will it be Wendys? Will it include cards and on a Sunday?

  2. I love listening to women during their desultory chatter.
