You sure nailed that one......People try to avoid him, as once he gets started telling stories, he just goes on and on and on and the poor "victim" can't get a word in edgewise...
However today, Chili met his match, as for once, he was the "victim"...

To Keep Dancing
Published: Sunday, January 4, 2015 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 3, 2015 at 9:31 p.m.
BRADENTON Fl - Albert Barrette, age 100, looks around the mostly vacant dining hall at Bradenton Oaks Senior Living Community and stretches his arms. "I had a whole floor the size of this room," he explained, describing his tenure as an owner of a fence and wire company in Rhode Island.
The man who once peddled apples on street corners during the Great Depression to support his struggling family became the owner of a business.
Now he's embracing a new role as part of one of the fastest growing but still smallest part of the population: centenarian.
The Census reported that 53,364 centenarians were alive in 2010. That is a sizable increase from 32,194 in 1980.
Barrette, as a male, represents even more of a rarity. The census reports that nearly 81 percent of centenarians are female.
Barrette cites genetics as a reason he is still kicking. His mother died at 98. His uncle reached 104, and he alluded to other family members, particularly on his mother's side, who lived long lives.
But it's also behavior, Barrette speculated. "Live a clean life and eat well. I drank, but I never drank in excess. I never was on four legs walking home.
Barrette recalls there wasn't much to do in Rhode Island for an energetic 16-year-old at the height of the Great Depression. There were the "drug store gangs," as Barrette called them, the kids that loitered around drug stores at the time, drinking soda and meeting together for any number of activities.
Barrette said he and his friends weren't "into that," instead, they chose to dance. "We'd go out in the villages in Rhode Island and dance. It kept us going."
Dancing has kept Barrette going -- he once had a fully outfitted dance floor in a cellar at his Providence home. He and his now-deceased wife would invite friends over to dance, sometimes late into the night.
And now, at 100, age can't stop Barrette from dancing, "I still dance -- I can go out and dance all night."
Barrette's current dancing partner is his girlfriend, Yvette Mineau, 91, whom he affectionately refers to as his "angel." The two met in 1982 when they were married to their respective partners. Over the years, the couples became close friends. It wasn't until Mineau lost her husband and Barrette's wife passed in 1998 that they became closer.
The two were there for each other and now they're inseparable. "She keeps me going," Barrette said, smiling.
His love for Mineau and dancing are not the only things the avid golfer and former metal-worker holds dear.
Life, too, in its chaotic twists and sheer surprises, has kept Barrette going. He has seen many around him succumb to the sorts of adversities and shortcomings that could stop anyone well before they reach 100, and he doesn't forget that.
"There's a lot of people that give up life early," Barrette said, "they get misfortune, they're afraid to come back. And those are the people that should be helped."
