Today he got hold of a magazine with Christie Brinkley on the back cover. A while back he began to recognize people in pictures and smile at them, particularly pictures of himself. Then along came Christie, asking if he's "Got Milk"? This was no normal chewing event, this was the first example of Targeted Chewing.
This is a short post, so I'll add some gratuitous cute sleepy baby photos. Awwwwww.
[The Olympics aren't on right now, so I was flipping the channels. I found an infomercial for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Lots of little kids sick with cancer, going through chemotherapy and radiation. Little kids dying from cancer, and movie stars asking viewers to please donate to the hospital. Shit. I went upstairs and gave Spud a hug. If I was in charge, the military budgets of the world would be sent to St. Jude's. Imagine.]
Being a father gives one a new view of the world! Hard to ignore the world's injustices when we realize that we are only a short hop from being like others who are far less fortunate. And cancer is a scary disease...even the WORD is scary, as we know first-hand. Those who face it and prevail are very, very brave indeed. Grandpa C.
