The time has come,' the Walrus said, 'To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings.' Few will understand what is could possible be about...but I know that you do and are laughing about it. Peanuts and Royal Cola, quarter sticks of dynamite in he late at 11pm, no it was 9pm, bail money at 1am and laughing about it, listening to the police scanner while they write me speeding ticket, Sparkle Berry Swamp with Piggy and Roster, stealing a train for a ride to school, and ship wrecked in the Gulf of Alaska with not were to sit. Just some of the stories I look forward to sharing with your grandsons...I love you Dad.
