Here I am, a 60 year old grandpa, and I am a sucker for happy stories. Ya, I watch romantic comedies and I laugh, and have a great time. Thanks to my daughter Stephanie for sharing this video. It is not the first of the style that I have seen, but it is one of [...]

I do not know if it has ever been scientifically proven, but it seems that men go to their doctor much less consistently than women. Grandpa Richard is no exception. I am not sure, but I think my last complete physical was about 5 years ago. Considering that men over 50 should be doing that [...]
