There's an extremely friendly and animated older woman who's a regular at the Kennett Y. She talks to everyone, young and old, male and female, whether they speak English or not (I've even heard her try Italian). She obviously likes people and enjoys making connections.
I find her amusing and refreshing. The other day she came up to me and shared her secret for a happy life: she swims every day and prays the Rosary.
Speaking of the Kennett Y, they'll be hosting a huge swim meet, the "Dragon Fest Invitational," on Saturday, Nov. 4, and Sunday, Nov. 5. I've learned to steer clear of the Y on swim meet weekends because many of the exercise classes are cancelled; the building is packed with swimmers, siblings and parents; and every parking space/patch of grass/square of macadam is filled for blocks around.
