Coming in for a landing at Queretero

He was on his way to Honolulu, I was on my way to Queretero. We met in Dallas, and TGIFriday, at got to chatting. Hawaii was on his bucket list, he said, because he had stage 4 prostate cancer and was going to do everything he wanted to. Ireland was next. He told me he lived in South Carolina but was originally from a town in Rhode Island he doubted I'd heard of.
   "Oh yeah?" I said. "I have a place on Block Island and my daughter lives in Providence."
    He laughed: "I'm a captain on the high speed ferry."
   "From Point Judith?"
   "Yep. I'll see you on the boat if I work again this season."
