I've met my own Derfs at grocery checkouts and the front desks of roadside hotels. This lovely post awakened memories. Thank you.

As I was reading this, it occurred to me that Derf must be related to Ted Lasso - hoping that most people have watched this by now and will get the reference!

Believe :) Thanks for the positivity as always, David.

Your story was if i am at Derf’s counter and have inhaled some fresh energy for someone who knows the (no longer) secret to happiness.
