Bobbie

My Grandpa Bobbie passed away this morning. We knew he wasn't well and while working on a crossword lastnight, I started writing down some of the things I didn't want to forget about Bobbie.

He tought me:

• my love of crosswords
• about the benefits of living at the beach
• the importance of a comfortable leather chair
• the warmth of velour
• how to blow cigar smoke rings
• to golf with patience, courtesy and most importantly mulligans
• to savor stilton
• the enjoyment of getting dolled up to go out and see a show
• about the comfort of m&m soup
• the value of old friendships
• the luxory of a pedicure
• the comedy of cheers and seinfeld and the importance of TV Guide (Bobbie would have loved DVR)
• the necessity of faith and specific to ours, confession
• how a hot tub is not a hot tub unless it is HOT
• the importance of an early and long retirement
• to love children and enjoy your favorites as often as possible

You are my favorite Bobbie. Here's to you - happy travels!
