Young Man's Burden

My grand nephew, Robby, is home for his leave. He'll be here a few more days. He's working his tail off to help me clear some land. What a great kid he is!! He stopped by this evening and offered to carry me out to see the progress he's made. He said he's carried guns across Iraq that were heavier than I am! I'd love to go and see what he's done, but I really don't want to give him a hernia in the process. LOL

I'm not as worried about the young generation as some folks are, I guess. My grand nephews are doing a great job of defending our country. My grand daughter is a spectacular person, too. My grandson is going to turn out very well, indeed. The country and the world will be in good hands with kids like these. My adopted grandson is a fine young man who has great things in store for him, too. I have lots of friends in the same generation and their prospects all look good, too.

My own generation was a mess. Sex, drugs and rock n roll didn't make them smarter. And look who's running the country into the ground? Not all of us were idiots, of course. But there were enough of them to give us all a bad name. I hope the new generation does better and acts smarter than mine did. They are off to a good start.
