Bucks Meets PeeVanGee

Buck was happy to learn that he and the lady would be heading out to enjoy a lunch meeting with a former co-worker.   His favourite part was the escalator ride...

He liked to think of himself as a kind of dangerous duck type.   The worst part of the trip was riding the SRT or Scarborough Rapid Transit train - that thing was the noisiest vehicle he'd ever been on.  Buck decided that when the mayor asked him to vote on SRT or subway extension,  he'd choose subway everytime.  Scrap the LRT plan!

Once at the restaurant the lady and PeeVanGee talked up a storm.  Lots of updates transpired and Buck struggled to keep up while he enjoyed his salad (and beer ) ...


   The lady seemed thrilled to hear that PeeVanGee had left his latest job and taken a new position as  a not for profit consultant.  He said this new job was the best thing that could happen for him as he was able to spend a lot more time with his kids and the type of work he was doing suited him well.  Some days he would travel into the city to work with a client but lots of days he could work from home.  He said he was working on planning a trip somewhere south (maybe Mexico) with his family and that things were great with him.  He smiled a lot.  Buck liked that.

The lady seemed to have a special kinship with the folks she used to work with, her face lighting up as she talked about them.  It was clear to Buck that she worried about them,  their happiness mattered to her.  Buck noted that the lady seemed to value and protect her personal relationships more than her jewellery.  "Interesting",  thought Buck "that the mosts valuable things can't be bought or sold".  It was strange information for a duck who's life started in a store.
