Skipping fatherhood and making it to grandfatherhood (aug.12 '06)

Arrrrrrggggghhhhh!

just got official word today that as of two weeks ago, i have become a grandfather!

i'm not ready to be a grandpa!

the first grandkid of this family branch is nathan john. mom is natalie joan, our niece, who's supposed to enter the nunnery, but obviously got waylaid (by a military man).

hmmmm, wonder what the grandkid will call me: lolo (traditonal, that), grampa (too western)?
modern terms of endearment: dadilo (daddy-lolo), papilo (papa-lolo), titolo (tito/uncle-lolo), unclelo (uncle-lolo) and god knows what else!

oh gawd! i'm not ready to be grandpa but i can't wait to see and kiss and hug my first grandson.
