Richard, your grand kids are lucky to have you in their life. And we are forever young---I stay away from mirrors. And, that facetime thing---evil invention.

I was thinking about those canceled check political donations my mother saved. I can't for the life of me understand his contribution to Happy Chandler in Kentucky----we lived in Ohio. And a hundred dollars back then was real money. I worked on a labor gang at a steel mill and saved about everything, $600, my spending money, travel for a year at college.

That is why I watch my son

These kids live in an entirely different universe.

And this universe is much satisfying?

We survived.

These babies live in a happier world.

THANK THE GOOD LORD.

As you go through life, make this your goal

Watch the donut, not the hole.

Yes, Burl Ives figures prominently. Read the book, not the movie - 1 of my 2-3 all-time faves.

Thanks. Haven't read the book

In reply to Reminds me of the "Look out!

Thanks, Peracles Haven't read the book,but should have. I would have saved a lot of time not acting it out myself.

The "little voice" has saved my bacon a number of times and I shouldn't admit this but on a couple of occasions it was audible. "Look left!"

Or did you mean the Mellencamp album "Big Daddy". (My Dad could have stood in for Burl Ives)

Reminds me of the "Look out!

Reminds me of the "Look out!"s in Sometimes a Great Notion. The past always sneaking up on ya.

Thanks, Mr. Smith. 45 years and it still seems like yesterday.

Some times I can't bear to think of old times, and then I have a dream, or hear a turn of speech and can't help but think back and laugh.

Wonderful, Oxy. Simply

Wonderful, Oxy. Simply wonderful. My appreciation for my father has grown immensely over the 45 years since his passing. I cherish small memories and can still feel the warmth and the humor.
