Wow Grandpa!

Grandpa and his six-year old grandson were having a lively discussion about television technology, and Grandpa was quite amazed with the young lad’s knowledge.

His grandson continued to rattle off how modern television works with services such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and a few others.  Grandpa was still plugged into his cable contract, and he was content to stay there.  He knew next to nothing about these television streaming services.

As their time was wrapping up, Grandpa remembered something he had stored in the basement.  Together, the two of them went down into the drafty and dark subterranean warehouse, which was filled with so many of Grandpa’s treasures.  Grandpa enjoyed showing many of them to his grandson.

In the far corner was an old television set.  Its time was long gone, but it still owned some real estate in the basement. 

Grandpa asked his grandson a question, “Have you ever seen television rabbit ears?”

His grandson replied, “No, how did they work?”  Grandpa had ignited his curiosity again.

Reaching into a box behind the ancient TV, Grandpa pulled out the simple looking rabbit ears.

His smiling grandson was ready to see what would happen next.  He said, “Wow Grandpa!  How did you wear those rabbit ears?”

Mark Twain Quotes

Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?

Training is everything.  The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Samuel Clemens (1835-1910), better know by his pen name of Mark Twain, is often recognized as one of America’s greatest humorists.  Novelist and writer William Faulkner called him the “father of American literature.”  While he was in California in 1865, his literary skills struck gold with the story of “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.”

Turning Life’s Page

Living on hidden island

Searching through another day

Overwhelming heartache

Waiting, filled with emptiness

 

Whispering thoughts, every night

Hearing silence once again

Tears drowning in sorrow

Waiting for new direction

 

Making one more decision

Holding torch, ready to light

Prepared to burn last bridge

Waiting to strike final match

 

Listening again, a voice

Growing stronger each minute

Conscience stirs from abyss

Waiting, no longer needed

 

Turning life’s page, new chapter

Leaving island at long last

Light leads to happiness

Revealing brilliant sunrise
