Rich - great photo!
Morris - wonderful pun!
I'm 65; the 'other' grandfather is 60; my Dad is 95 and still doing well. The grandkids (courtesy of our daughter and her husband) are 15 and 11, and my Dad is part of their lives as are we. It's a privilege to be healthy enough to share at least part of their lives; an incredible privilege for all of us to be in the same city.
Ended up giving rides to school for each of them today, with an old CD playing: 'Born to be Wild' by Steppenwolf; The Trogs 'Wild Thing'; Steam and 'Sha-na-na' were tunes they recognized; they didn't pick up on the Kingsmen and 'Louie-Louie'; the 11 year old recognized Manfred Mann and 'Doo-wah-diddy'. Gotta pick her up later; it'll be Iron Butterfly then...
Makes me reflect a bit on growing up as an air force brat and grand-parents were people you had to send a Christmas card to once a year; also, reflect on the people that move here from different cultures and languages, and their kids will never be able to recognize music from their grand-parents era.
We're all blessed, incredibly.
