Howdy! What am I doing here?

Walking down the street in Parma today, wearing my University of Georgia Bulldogs sweatshirt, an older man and his wife smiled at me and said, "Go Dawgs!"

We stopped and chatted for a a few minutes: Gary is a retired UGA grad, worked for decades as a Major League Baseball scout, now on a two-month tour of Italy with his lovely wife Judy.

He said, "So, what are you doing here?" with a gentle, curious tone of voice, and because he's not only American but also a fellow Bulldog, there was no need to add "Sorry to pry."

We both knew and appreciated the fact that "What are you doing here?" is a welcome question for a couple of Georgia boys who just happened to cross paths in Parma, Italy.
