Yikes, I am definately not ready for grand kids, my oldest just turned 15
on Friday. I know it could happen, but he knows what is involved with
taking care of babies, and there is a teen parenting program at his high
school so I hope I don't have to worry about that for a while. It would
also be a problem for his base ball career he plans on. They can all stay
away from my car as far as I am concerned.

'67 GT6 (sitting here watching 50-60 mph wind/snow blowing around,
definately not an LBC day)
