And yet more favorite people

These two smiling gentlemen are my son-in-law Todd and my grandson Jackie.

Jackie was christened last December. I rolled into town after 1,200 miles in the cab of my '87 Mitsubishi pickup truck all the way from Iowa and found this wonderful house full of really nice folks who fed me and treated me like a prodigal son. I was musing on the way back that but for a confluence of circumstance, this entire world would not have existed.

Well. When the Hebrews raise a glass, the toast is always "L'chaim!" To life. All of which makes me think that they were on to something.
