In the presence of grandparent and grandchild, past and future merge in the present.
How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children.
I had this fantastic collection of Grateful Dead T-shirts and live concert music the band had give me over all these years, decades of material, and when our boys became teenagers they started going through everything and wearing the shirts and listening to the music and that's what the Grateful Dead is all about.
The older I get, the more special time with family gets.
My teaching is my legacy.
You have a lot more to give, the older you get. And you want to give it. I mean, some people want to give it. But there is a desire to pass down, to have a hand in the past and a hand in the future. There's a continuum.
I want to be the cool uncle, the fun uncle.
