December 28, 2008 Dear Little Girl,

Dear Little Girl at Monkey Joes,
I was climbing up the stairs to the Big Slide behind Max when you approached me and asked "Are you his grandfather?"

I figured I'd get that question when Max was in high school when I'm in my early- to mid-sixties or perhaps even in Jr. High. But I'm only 46 -- yes, just a couple weeks from 47. And I look darn good for my age if I do say so myself.

I know I'll always be an older parent. But I've pledged to myself, my wife and my kids that I'll stay in shape, eat right and do what I can to be part of their lives for as long as I can.
