Grandfatherdom

[wolfmoon72]

I had mentioned last time I felt like it was a new chapter in my life. My oldest son just became a father, officially launching me into grandfatherdom. I can't wait to meet the little munch, of course. It's just that using the term "grandfather" to describe me just doesn't seem right. The word conjures up the stereotypical vision an old greying men shuffling around behind a cane or spending lazy afternoons in a rocker watching old Bob Barker Price-is-Right reruns. I guess it shows how useless stereotypes really are.

I digress, the son of my son was born today, during an April blizzard, when the tornado sirens wailed for a severe weather drill. I went outside with Rey after school, and those sirens were going off while we whipped snowballs at each other. April 18, 2013... definetely a unique day.
