Discovering that he was heading for Florida to spend Christmas with family, one of his sons asked G-Pop if he was going to miss the snow.
G-Pop: Snow is most beautiful when viewed from the window of a 72-degree, well-insulated house.
Having the full attention of G-Pop, the son continued by asking him what he felt about Santa Claus after all these years.
G-Pop: Santa Claus is the only fat man never laughed at by children. The message? The obese should always arrive with a bag of toys.
“How about winter, G-Pop?”
G-Pop: For old people, it’s the threat of a broken hip. For the middle-aged, the possibility of a heart attack while shoveling snow, for younger adults, it’s sliding off the road in your car because you have bald tires, ending up in a ditch and discovering that your AAA has lapsed. The only payoff is for kids … snow days.
Finally, the son inquired of G-Pop about his feelings concerning Christmas.
G-Pop: Christmas is our next, best chance to birth a great idea, shepherd it to newness and end up looking like wise men.
