Gentlemen
Find a Conversation

I guess I'm a sucker for a gentleman. I never knew I was. I mean, hey, I can certainly open up my own doors and order my own wine and I'm totally capable of paying my way. But when I see a gentleman in action I can't help feel warm inside, and pleases to see that there are still men who like to be courteous.
I was on my lunch break doing some shopping and as I walked out of a building I saw an elderly man pull up to the curb to pick up his wife, also quite old. She had a cane and stood there as he pulled up next to her. A man (no, not an usher or a doorman) just a stranger to them) walked up behind the woman and said "Here, please let me help you". He opened up the car door for her, held her cane, and gently assisted her in the car. He closed the door for her and I saw a look on her face that was appreciative and maybe I saw dignity too. Dignity because she was being respected and not just trampled over by the hurry up world we live in. Some man gave her a hand. Unsolicited. Just because.
I loved that! Isn't is great there are still gentlemen walking the earth? Don't you just love them?

That reminds me of a conversation I had with DS awhile ago.
Gentlemanly behaviors and habits are learned.

SEV and SS sound a lot alike.
