Five Things I Have Learned From Grandpa
1. The songs "Mares eat oats and does eat oats", "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" and various others.
2. How to keep myself and others awake while driving on a cousins trip in the middle of the night by counting and sorting all the cars that drove past us on the freeway.
3. To be daring enough to try new and interesting foods knowing that I have to lick my plate clean whether I like it or not; thus there aren't too many things that I wouldn't eat (that would explain my spare tire that won't go away).
4. How to compete. Whether it was wrestling in my undies on the front lawn with Annie or races to the tree and back for change or even playing defense while grandpa taught the boys football routes.
5. How to admire the fancy things in life (i.e. the insides of glamorous hotel lobbies and Relais and Chateaux all over the world, beautiful gardens, the shoe department at Saks Fifth Ave and many more fine stores) and to enjoy the simple (often less expensive) things in life (i.e. Premiere 1 motel rooms, sleeping under the stars on the side of the road somewhere in Arizona, and most importantly, FAMILY).
