I just called to say I Love You

Papa, grandpa, grand dad or my favorite “OF” stands for Old Fucker that’s me! I like them all and can say I have never been this excited my baby is having a baby. I have known for months but was sworn to secrecy and I honored that promise for which I should be rewarded because I wanted to tell everyone that day and every day since.

It is so cool knowing a new generation is about to start I will spoil the living stuff out of this baby and the next and next I just can’t wait! I will admit that I thought it would make me feel old knowing I was going to be a grandparent NO WAY just excited.

My grand child’s sex will stay a mystery until the big day I like that not that I am not curious but it is kind of neat trying to guess. I’m betting a girl but I never get this right I am awful at guessing so I will wait for the big coming out party.

To my unborn grandchild: I LOVE YOU ALREADY!

“OF”

Climb Time














Aconcagua pronounced -akon ‘kaywa- is the highest mountain in the Americas 22,841 ft. Located in the Argentine province of Mendoza. It is one of the seven summits and is the highest peak in the western and southern hemispheres. The mountain has a number of glaciers. It is not a volcano the name means “comes from the other side” “sentinel of stone” and "white sentinel”

I am starting to get my head around this climb as it is my highest yet and covered with ice I believe I have Nancy’s blessing at least as much as she will bless any of my adventure’s. I must come to terms with training again and time away and money none of which I am excited about. But I will leave in January and that is just nine months away lots to do and prepare for. It is about time to get motivated.
