I won two in a row just to show my love.

My granddaughters (my step-sons girls) like me better than they like their biological grandfather. (No surprise; hes a jerk).

(69,738 posts)I start my new job on the 27th.
Nine, or possibly eleven, years to go. The girls will be close to voting age before their grandpa can call it quits.
You'll have to make the most of each opportunity, then.
Congrats on the new job, I forgot about that!
