Last Sunday, 9/7, was Grandparents' Day. Due to my preoccupation with many things, mostly Julius's death and its aftermath, I completely dropped the ball on getting the appropriate cards and greetings sent out.
Luckily, all the grandparents know that I tend to run late with such things anyway (still working on that bday present for you, Grandma).
Better late than never, here's my tribute to the Scouts' grandparents. It's directed at the grandmothers, but I think Papa will get a kick out of it anyway.
The Grandmothers' Song:
(Yes, that is Steve Martin, from the groundbreaking 70s comedy album "Let's Get Small." (I had it on 8-track tape.) The pic above shows Steve Martin with a fake arrow through his head...someday you'll see an extreeeeemely interesting post about an adventure Tebe had in his younger days while wearing a similar fake arrow.)
Just promise me, grandparents...if you DO decide to put a live chicken in your underwear, give me advance notice. I want to videotape it. And then put it on the blog, natch.
Happy (Belated) Grandparents' Day to Nana, Grandma, and Papa!! (And to Granddad Scout and Grandpa, too--may you get a good laugh out of this together.)
