It is with some shock and trepidation today that we realize we are the "cute old couple" to at least some twenty-somethings.
Today we go to Bocas Brewery for a late lunch of chicken wings and to bring back three gallons of drinking water - a good excuse for a trip to the brewery. We place our order with the bartender, a Panamanian woman in her mid-twenties and then go sit outside on the patio.
A little while later the bartender brings us our wings and fries. She smiles then asks in fairly good English, "Pardon - what is the secret to a long relationship?" We first look at each other with a puzzled stare, then a smile. I respond "You must laugh a lot and like being together". She presses, "But what about when you fight"? William responds "You must be able to say I'm sorry and let it go". She smiles, thanks us and walks away.
It is at this point that we realize, we have become the "cute old couple". Oy! That's not us - that's our parents!
