**A Night with Jordan**
As I settled in for the evening, I noticed that Jordan was being his usual generous self. He thanked me multiple times, but it wasn't just about saying thank you - he genuinely seemed to appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness behind my gifts. "It's like aliens," he exclaimed, as if he had stumbled upon something truly remarkable. And indeed, he had. A rare WWV time signal was broadcast on his ham radio, providing a unique opportunity for us to listen in.
As we delved deeper into our conversation, I began to realize just how generous Jordan was being. He gifted me with a $500 stop watch, which I could use to upgrade my train accessories. "This is very generous," I said, trying to put into words the extent of his kindness. Jordan smiled and replied, "I know it's a lot of money." It was clear that he didn't see it that way, though - for him, it was simply a gesture of goodwill.
As the evening wore on, our conversation turned to our plans for the holiday season. I mentioned how much I loved Christmas, but also how post-Christmas could be just as fun. Jordan agreed, pointing out the many sales and discounts that were available during this time of year. "It's like a second wind," he said with a grin.
Before long, we received an unexpected delivery - a care package from Jordan himself. It was filled with goodies, including a bottle of Fireball whiskey and a selection of gift cards. I couldn't believe it - Jordan had outdone himself. "This is way too much," I said, trying to downplay the generosity. But Jordan just laughed and replied, "No, no - you can use this on a train or something."
As we caught up on each other's plans for the holiday season, I mentioned my upcoming trip to Hawaii. Jordan asked if he could send a message, but then realized that it was actually Gizmo who was sending the messages. "It's all about me," Gizmo chimed in, as if to reinforce Jordan's point.
As the night wore on, our conversation turned to more serious topics. I mentioned how I would be editing a Vlog for an upcoming YouTube video - and then realized that my glasses were water-drenched due to the rain outside. Jordan offered to let me continue working on it while he stayed inside, but eventually had to give in to Gizmo's demands to stay out of the wet.
As we wrapped up our conversation, I turned my attention to some eBay sales that I needed to complete. It was almost 10 PM, and I had a few listings to finish processing. Jordan took note of this and offered some words of encouragement - "You got this," he said with a smile. And indeed, I did.
As the final hours of our conversation drew to a close, I shared some of my recent eBay sales with Jordan. There was the Panasonic DMR DVD recorder, which had sold for $31.20 plus shipping; the audiobook set "The Woman in White" by Wilky Collins, which had gone for $80 plus shipping; and finally, a new-in-the-box floppy disk set that had sold for just $9 plus shipping. Jordan was impressed with my sales figures - and I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at having made some money.
As we said our goodbyes for the evening, I reflected on how much I appreciated Jordan's generosity and kindness. It wasn't just about the gifts or the sales - it was about the connections and conversations that we had shared along the way. "Thank you," I said once more, trying to put into words the depth of my gratitude. And indeed, I meant it.
As I settled in for a well-deserved rest, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for the final weeks leading up to Christmas. It was going to be a busy time - with eBay sales to complete and videos to edit - but I was ready for the challenge. And who knows? Maybe Jordan's generous spirit would inspire me to do even more good deeds in the coming days.
**Final Thoughts**
In the end, it was clear that Jordan had been an absolute joy to spend time with. From our conversation about WWV time signals to our discussions about gifts and eBay sales, every moment was filled with laughter and warmth. As I drifted off to sleep, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the connection we shared - and the kindness that Jordan had shown me throughout our conversation.
I may have fallen asleep before finishing my video editing work, but I knew that it would all be worth it in the end. After all, what's a little sleep when you've got a heart full of joy and a mind full of gratitude?
