Here’s ‘Gramps’…
Every week ‘Gramps’ will share some of his insight, his wit, his charm and maybe even some of his gardening tips. But rest assured, this will be anything but the rumblings of a grumpy old man…
‘Gramps’ is a retired 69 year old WASC (white anglo saxon catholic) who lives with his wife and two dogs in Jacksonville, Fl. Mrs. ‘Gramps’ is a former Alabama Belle who gave up live on the Azalea Trail to marry a handsome serviceman, little realizing that in several years, she would be living in a town in upstate NY that averaged over 100 inches of snow a year.
The ‘Gramps’ have three children (girl, boy, girl) and three grandchildren (girl, boy, boy). ‘Gramps’ attitudes have been formed based on his 70 odd years on the planet and by a head injury sustained during the depression when he, as an infant, was tossed from a speeding car by his parents in an effort to elude police who were chasing them because of a bank heist gone bad. The tactic was unnecessary because they had already eluded the police, and they returned to recover the child and raise him to adulthood.
