18++ 31 Jan 2005
is a time to reminisce about the long walks and the long drives we used to
take. He would make special trips to pick me up so that I could spend
the weekends with him.
Oh, and the advice he used to give! Too bad much of it was wasted because
I was relatively young when he died. If he were alive today and passing
down his gems of wisdom you could bet I'd be a better man. Some of the
pearls he'd given me I've never forgotten. I would accompany him on his
daily walk and he would point out various things worth noticing.
"That tree there is a Japanese elm. They grow fast." or "During the great
depression I fed every wayfarer that crossed our doorstep." Those things
were well and good, but the thing I remember most, the jewel in the
crown of grandfatherly advice came as we were weeding his garden. We
were working around the hot peppers when he paused, looked me in the eye
and said, "Don't marry a woman with big hands. It makes your dick look
smaller."
