not too far from the tree


Everyone, meet my grandfather...

He's a great guy. He's made a huge impact on my hometown of El Paso. He had 7 children and LOTS of grandkids. He's awesome. He still practices law, despite the fact that he's darned near blind. He still plays golf. He was the youngest Major in the Pacific during WW II. This guy is awesome.

He's also a bit gassy.

He's the only man I know that can bribe his grandchild to not tell his wife that he farted. Seriously, there's no better way to a 10-year-old boy's heart than to fart and pay him.

Here's to you, old man. We love you lots...

(This picture, like many others that I've posted on my blog, has been stolen from my brother, who happens to be a better photographer than I could ever dream of being.)

Would it kill you to provide some photo credit?

What a great face. He looks like he's got a story or two to tell. Shame about the photo quality.

He's got plenty of stories and plenty of bragging rights. Although, he's always been a humble man.

Ouch.
