On a trip to Brussels

While on a recent trip to Brussels I met the father of my daughter's friend, Myriam. His name was also Tom. And Tom is REALLY an avid sailor. As I understand it, he works construction during the warm weather up north and then counts on being laid off in the winter so he can head south to Florida and sail for the season. How cool is that? I am sure he was frustrated by my lack of sailing knowledge(I was unable to answer most of his questions), but it was a delight to hear his enthusiasm about sailing. He sparkled when he talked about it. I am hoping sometime he can meet “my” Tom and that maybe I have learned enough by then to keep up.
