A Great Day for Grandparenting

Giovanni and I drove down the thruway to traffic court in a town near Buffalo. He got a speeding ticket for doing 80 in a 65 zone. He did brilliantly in front of the judge, had his mocving violation reduced to the parking violation and a $100 fine. We had lunch at Bob Evans and drove back home talking about everything, from his job to his girl friend. Wow. Bonding. This kid grew into a 6'4" viking while I was not looking. Now, if he could just keep his foot off the gas pedal. We concluded the day with a visit to the local wine shop where I recommended some red wine to him. I am going to stop worrying about this one. He will be all right.
