jan. what a man.

david and i started off our lovely sunday with some laziness (we go to the 5:30 service at watermark) and then some errands. one of the stops was sams. we love that place. as we were checking outm david had a craving for a sam's hotdog (completely normal in our world). in line he met a man in a motorized wheelchair named jan.
jan looks exactly like a 75 yr santa claus with a vietnam veteran hat on. he asked david if he had been in the army, then invited himself to sit with us as david ate his dog.
we sat with jan, in the sam's food court area for two hours. you probably won't believe the stories he told us but you can't make this stuff up!
jan proclaimed all of these things about himself during our convo: highest mcat score ever. ever.; spy during the vietnam war; publisher by day (i was offered a job); unlicensed surgeon, was married to a chinese woman who was always on the look-out for indians for 54 yrs; jeweler (promised me an amber bracelet); bi-lingual (chinese/english); knew richard nixon.
now i don't know how much of this is true but you better believe that the first thing we did when we got home was google him. and some of it actually panned out. unreal.
we have his digits so we can hang out again at sams and get that amber bracelet. he said it matched my eyes.
just another day in our life.
