Grandson Dominic turns 18 tomorrow. There was a time when 18 qualified for drinking beer legally. I think those days have passed. Happy Birthday Dominic.
You know life is “passing you by” when a Grandson asks what a “78 record” is. You also know age is a factor when your companion says your BMW sits too low.
Grandson Mitchell played football all through high school. He was a starter on the Middleton (Madison) team playing on offense, defense and special teams. He starts college at Iowa State in the Fall. I asked if he had any interest in football at Iowa State. Surprisingly he indicated that he was looking into a potential “walk-on” status. Keep watching ESPN.
Grandson Grant is continuing his education at Madison Area Technical College. I think they changed their name to Madison College because the acronym conflicted with Milwaukee (also MATC). I asked him what he learned so far? He said “don’t put your finger in a live electrical socket”.
Grasshopper No.2 was looking to buy a updated SUV. Instead she fell in love with a 15 year old red, 2-seat convertible. I guess the rationale is that by driving the sexy convertible, she don’t add miles to her present SUV. Okay, I’ll buy that. It is an established fact that red cars get the most speeding tickets.
The Packers drafted a defensive tackle last night in the first round of the NFL draft. 6 foot-3 inches tall. 315 pounds. Long wing span. He can dunk a basketball. Packer “crazies” should be ecstatic. I remember when the Packers played the Detroit Lions in 1962. Detroit had one of the first 300# linemen in the NFL, Les Bingham. He played center. He was rather short and had a beer gut. Now everybody is 300 pounds and is “chiseled”.
May Day Sunday!
Love,
Dad
