| Light switch by Ana |
Action Description: Hustle and bustle around the house and kitchen around dinner time. Pots and pans pinging and sizzling noises. Sounds of Portuguese television and Spanish speaking females as back drop.
Frana, 50 year old, hustles to check on Iphone.
Dialogue:
Frana:
(nonplussed)
Hello, Hello...I can't hear you. Will call you in ten.
Raul:
Frana, hello? Finally I couldn't hear you.
Dissolve to: Another location and continued conversation then ended.
Have you ever heard someone say, "I spoke with an old friend last night; it was great catching up!" Typically, this line opens the door to an instant stroll through memory lane. Consequently, the banter beats on and on therefore bypassing the hardest part of socializing; initiating a conversation.
Last night, I received a call from a new friend who arrived with the feel of that old friend material. Like a flick of a light switch, it was clear there was no need for ice breaking as it was broken even before we began to talk. A quiet evening coupled with a pleasant surprise can definitely be found on the other side of a wireless phone and even better when it comes from the mountain timezone. Thanks 'R'aul and ...
...buen camino.
