I went home, ostensibly to see my grandfather for the last time, and i ended up seeing much of my family for the first time, in a way.

Happiness is a warm gun

Still going through old photos, and this (the couple on the right) are my paternal grandparents back in the late 20s or early 30s...no surprises on the goof level

Visiting home is a great time to find old childhood treasures, like this little illustrated piece of fan fiction I made at about 8 years old, circa 1977. The attached pics are the first half of the very first piece of creative writing I think I ever put together and finished. If you'd care to see the second half of this story, and learn what becomes of Snoopy's first motorbike race, head over to pedalpoet.com

My grandfather, Clark Babcock, died yesterday at a month shy of 99 years old, and I'm so grateful to have been next to him for the last couple days of his long, quite interesting life.

Greetings from Northern New York where I'm visiting my hometown, and just in time to be with my 98 yo grandfather as he lays in bed dying surrounded by family. He's a pretty amazing man. My grandmother went 11 years ago, and the last 2 pics are them as young people years and years before any of us were around.
