Short Personal Indulgence

Today would have been my Great-Grandfather's 98th birthday. He was born the same day and year as former President Gerald Ford. My Great-Grandfather taught me to walk, ride a bicycle, and drive a car, so without him I couldn't get anywhere. He also perfected use of the phrase "hell of a lookin' thing", ordinarily reserved for people with a particularly strange or haggard appearance. Lady Gaga, for instance, would probably have been "a hell of a lookin' thing" to him.

Not much for content, but hey, it's a sentimental day.
