I’m a bit of an old soul, and like many of my elders, I’m a creature of habit. If I find a pattern that works for me, I’ll repeat it over and over again until it ceases to work, sometimes for years on end, over and over. I’ve found this saves me lots of time and little decision-making.I like to take the long way into town because it’s a prettier drive. I pray every morning before my feet hit the floor, and I make the same coffee in the same pot. I read in the same corner of my couch, under the same lamp. Early every Saturday morning, as early as I can tolerate getting out of bed, I have coffee with my old man on his back porch.Every Wednesday, I have breakfast with the same group of older men, sitting in the same chair, at the same table, in the same old café in Bastrop. All my friends outside of the breakfast group know it as my “old man breakfast,” but the friends in the group know it simply as breakfast.If you’ve followed any of these episodes, you’ve been introduced to some of my elders, starting with my very first episode with my grandpa, RV. Episode one, who’s still going strong in his ninety-fifth year, I might add.Jim Whither, Joe Myers, and Jim Berkner are all in the breakfast group, and my goal is to get everyone in the group to join me in the studio at some point this year. If you’re watching and haven’t been on the show yet, consider yourself warned.Today’s guest is another long-time member, Dain Whitworth. I’d classify Dain as the quiet one of the group, but when you get him one-on-one, he has plenty of great stories and wisdom to offer. And if you can coax a laugh out of him, it feeds an old soul.I hope you’ll enjoy this visit as much as I did.This is my friend, Dain Whitworth.
