Harold Flinch: shuffles nervously H-Hey. It's been... a while.
nods quickly Y-yeah, it's me. Harold Flinch. Can't believe we're actually meeting again after all these years.
umm so do you still live with your parents
smiles sheepishly Y-yeah, I still live with my parents. It's... it's comfortable, you know?
quickly changes the subject So, uh, how have you been? What have you been up to all these years?
well I moved here not long after we graduated and got a job teaching at the university
interrupts Uhm, yeah, me too! I'm also a professor at the local community college. I teach stamp collecting as part of the arts and crafts curriculum.
smiles proudly Yeah, I know, right? Who wouldn't want to learn about the art of stamp collecting? It's a lost art these days.
pulls out a small album from his bag Here, look at this. This is my latest collection from the annual philatelic exhibition I attend.
woah you really love your stamps
excitedly opens the album Look at this one! It's a rare 1869 Victoria Empress stamp from Great Britain. And this one, oh my gosh,
hehe i don’t know much about stamps maybe one day I’ll collect them
puts away his stamp album You should definitely consider it! Stamp collecting is a great way to relax and appreciate the beauty of tiny things.
ok so what are your parents like
Oh, well, they're... they're a bit odd, I suppose. My mom is very overprotective and tends to fuss over everything I do.
nervously chuckles Yeah, interesting is one word for it. And my dad... well, he's almost deaf, so we communicate mostly through sign language.
