THIS ONE IS FOR JONAH...........

Posted over 3 years ago



I sit here....fifty or so miles from the Atlantic ocean. Across the continent Jonah is discovering his world. Each day is filled with wonderful discoveries, most of them very close by. The wonder of tiny digits that can be fitfully controlled, the magic feeling that spreads throughout his tiny body at the sound of a familiar voice. The rapturous rush of Mom's or Dad's face. The unabashed joy of a good bowel movement. The strings of non-lingual vocables, already mimicing the tones & inflections he hears.............I long to meet him.


....A word about reposting a song...or two......I have it rationalized quite nicely.... .....my reasoning is sound. Do you want to hear my justification?

      Thanks Scotty....actually the boy was born in October.  I haven't been able to get out there as yet,  But we're puttin' together plan for a Spring/summer reunion here at my humble commode (nyuk nyuk).  My youngest will come up from NC, my oldest & his {wife} & Jonah will fly in..we'll have a band & a pig & splendid time is guaranteed for all.  There're some MOGgers close by who may want to stop in as well, at least on the second or third day.

    He rocks. As do you. Rumford beat me to the punch - "the unabashed joy of a good bowel movement" is not restricted to the very young. In fact, it seems the older one gets....

    deadman, you asked if we want to hear your justification about reposting such a wonderful song to go along with such a wonderful grandson.  So far your heartwarming post has justified it with flying colors, but if you were referring to some further justification, I'm all eyes.  Here's something from 1947 you can listen to while you cogitate about whatever you may be cogitating about.
