Shit, we'll probably have to give you more strokes on our next golf outing. Congratulations!

Amen to this. My nephew's grandfather (not my father, the other one) is referred to as Papparoni. And they're not really Italian. I always envision the day, 20 years hence, when this young man has to tell a friend that "Papparoni" has cancer.

Great news, ETA, congrats. We're probably 5 to 10 years away from that, but I'm looking forward to it.
I was thinking, since I have step kids whose father is still involved with them (and would, of course, receive the Grandpa moniker), that I'd like for any grand kids to call me Pops, a la Speed Racer...

Post by: EasTexAstro on August 04, 2010, 12:01:36 pm: Thanks, everyone. I'm not sure I will ever worry about what she calls me, I just hope I get to hear it a lot. It has been a long time since I got to hold the baby. It reminds me of a lot of wonderful times.

As for golf, gleach has taught me how to handle the little girl on the course....

No, a Hoverround, because they have people ready to help you bilk Medicare out of the purchase price.

Congratulations, ETA.

Title: Re: Just call me....
Post by: EasTexAstro on August 05, 2010, 11:26:14 am: Thanks, again, everyone. I went to see her again last night. I got to do the feed, burp, hold, rock to sleep thing again for the first time in....way too long.

I think she likes me.

Mom and Dad wouldn't let me take her home.

Y'all should have told me how great this is.

Easy. Adopt a grown-up.
