A Chat with Pam

At sixty, you should have no debt, an extra bedroom and bath. A new sports car, and a fine study built to your specifications.

How did you go so wrong, Joseph? Or as a bankers ex-wife asked me at dinner, Where have you been?

My answer, not always understood by today's consumer-driven, daycare-loving society was:

I have

A FINE SON AND HIS WIFE WHO CARE FOR ME

A KIND DAUGHTER ,THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

AND

A MOTHER-RAISED GRANDBABY, JEWELL MONTANA, THE ROCKET GIRL

That's what I got.

Pam answered, You got a lot, Joseph.

My family
