Description David Newhall C.

December of 2002. He's looking even better now, after his recent heart surgery. He's 80 this year. He is my idol, my friend, my teacher. He is, as the doctors said in the hospital, good for another 25 years now. He had better outlive me, or I'll haunt that doctor for the rest of his days....

He is indeed a happy little fellow. We enjoy eachothers company very much.

He and my grandmother are now down in NC with my parents on a trip for their mutual wedding anniversaries. I hope they are having a good time. Ive not heard a word from them.

Yes indeed. Both my parents and my grandparents needed it. Been a hard year all around.

Then it's even better that they got away!

Yes indeed. I wished I could have gone with them with one or both of the girls, but it wasnt to be.

Perhaps next time. I may be moving down to NC, around the King or Winston-Salem area sometime in the next two years. Have to get into a more stable climate.

Cheese with Maple syrup? That's a new one.....Some great quotes though. I'll have to remember them.


....'just like candy'....::grins:: It could work.

((I'd crop in a bit closer to him, but you know me and cropping.....it's like an obsession, only without the withdrawl))

You should try it. It is in fact just like candy.


And as for the cropping of this one... Und Affen konnten aus meinem Kolben heraus fliegen.

hehe

He is a happy little man, yes.

That comes from age, experience, having more fun than most people, and still having sex at 80.

Some favorite quotes:

"Short legged bastards rule the world!"

"Ohh... To be running naked through a field of upturned bosoms..."

"'David. Would you like coffee or tea, dear?' "Yes dear, that would be lovely.""

"Just like candy..." (in reference to just about anything. hehe But bums, cheese with maple syrup, or a nice sun set in particular.)

Yes... she used to buy candies for herself and hide them underneath her bed, where I always found them... I guess she knew...
