The Fused Bulb

ARMY FOLKS ARE TOP of the charts when it comes to having interesting conversations.

They are terrific storytellers. And they inevitably have a fascinating story or snippet to share. About winning a war. And about living a life worth living. Every time I speak to friends from the army, I come away feeling good. There’s so much to learn. And so much to be grateful for.

And it was no different the other day when I was talking to my friend, a retired Brigadier. As we sat down to chat in his living room, we noticed one of the lights wasn’t working. Turns out the bulb had got fused the previous night. And when his wife gently reminded him once again to buy a new one, it seemed to bring back memories for him. About life in the good old days!
