Happy Birthday, Anastasia!

My oldest granddaughter turns 18 today. There's no doubt in my mind that there's gonna be some serious celebratin' in Brunswick, Maine tonight!

On an entirely different level, this means I'm technically in the precarious position of becoming a GREAT-grandfather. Realistically, though, I know Stasia has the great good sense to hold off on marriage and motherhood until she gets out of college.

Still, even the possibility of achieving great-grandfather status has me feeling decidedly OLD. Makes me think of that fine ol' cliché: "If I knew I was gonna live this long I'd have taken better care of myself." No. I wouldn't have done a damned thing differently... not at all.

    What a fine thing to be able to say! Congratulations to you and to Anastasia.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
