I have to give credit for this one to Barry... :clap: :bowdown:
This touched me. This once again confirms that the most important information in your
life won't come from a teacher, the library or the Internet, but from a mentor and on
a very personal level. My long-passed grandfather's birthday is coming up, and for me
it is a time to reminisce. The long walks we used to take. The long drives. The special
trips he would make to pick me up so I could spend weekends with him, and the advice he
used to give! Much was wasted because I was young when he died.
If he were alive today and sharing his gems of wisdom, I'd be a better man.
Those gems were well and good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of
grand-fatherly advice, came when he paused, looked me in the eye and said, "Son, Don't
marry a woman with big hands. It makes your shmeckel look smaller."
