The good old days are always the days behind us â almost at any age. Iâve even heard teenagers reminisce about the simpler times of elementary school.
Once there was a man walking on a dock. As he walked he counted the spaces between the boards. He kept walking and walking and counting and walked right off into the water.
The kid reminds me of when my tenth grade class and I were âdoing the dozensâ during a recess. They hit me with youâre old [only 45] youâre fat [a bit of a tummy for catching crumbs] youâre bow legged [yes, but gracefully], and youâre bald [itâs a firebreak]
I kinda closed it down when I said, Each of you has an older relative whom you resemble. 40 years from now, youâll look in your mirror and see that person staring back at you, and youâll wonder when the heck that happened. Then youâll see me looking over your shoulder and Iâll be laughing. They looked at each other and became quiet.
Well, 43 years have passed and I still get a laugh thinking that some of them will remember. I can also imagine some of the terms theyâll use. : )
Enjoy your grampa while you can, kid, and listen to what he has to tell you. One of mine was dead before I was born, and the other died before I turned 5. Iâll never know what I missed.
Try something like Sierra Nevada. Thatâs good stuff. It reminds me of somebody who said âI thought I didnât like beer. Then I had a craft beer and realized I like beer. I just donât like Budweiser.â
Memory just popped another one. The male parental unit of the family liked Duquesneâs Ale. I would rate it as second worst, right behind that Bavarian Dunkel!

Black Label.
He has become more feisty since he started making his own Horseradish Sauce. Tie your hat down!

Thatâs true, kid, but in the old days, you could just spend all day adventuring outside without helicopter parents.
In some ways, now is better. But in some ways, then was better.

Oh, yeah? When I was a kid, they were allowed to play âItchycoo Parkâ on the radio.

âGodzillionâ sounds monstrous. Is is possible you could just let the old man have his memories?

On âThe Simpsons,â Bart found the secret recipe for Duff Beer one time. It was âSchlitz plus water.â
