Your grandpa sounds awesome and an awful lot like Keith's grandpa. Great story, Bill.

From laughter (signals) to tears.

At the start of the entry I was waiting for the laughs. As I read, well, you broke my heart.

Thanks for making me cry today, you shithead.

(heh. you're not a shithead. that's an offhanded compliment. Very offhanded. now go away I'm cryin' over here).

Your grandfather sounds like a man I would have loved to meet. Great story, Bill, and a two-hanky one at that.

Do you have any idea how many times I had to read:

udder pipple'z kaa-ropp

to figure it out?!?!?

Awesome post, Billy!

Thanks for sharing him with us.
