Bob, you had me going and as a dad my heart went out to your grandson, but as a great story teller does, you flipped my script. Whew!

Thanks, Stockton. I'm grateful to my grandkids for giving me a wealth of material. But I have to use it sparingly or that's all I would write about.

Bob..I'm a grandparent( Pop Pop Jimbo) as well and look forwards to spending a week in St. Auggie with Charlotte aka Charlie who is 3, to teach her how to hunt for ghost crabs,vfind sand fleas, learn to ride a boogie board and to do a cannon ball into the deep end of the pool. Lesson #1 don't over think things and let them be them. We can teach them and yet we can learn from them as well, Good story !
