Grandma's House

I've got a birthday coming up later this month, and sometimes it's hard not to think about getting old. You watch celebrities from television and the movies dying off almost weekly, people you've seen all your life, such as Mike Douglas, who died Friday on his 81st birthday. If that wasn't enough, you hear stories of people you've always thought of as a child experiencing events that mean they're getting old, too. For example, little Opie Taylor, also known as Ron Howard, will always be a child. And yet, in a few short months, little Opie is going to become a grandfather. Makes you want to get your cane and hearing aid ready.
