Last May my SO and I were on vacation, and we stopped to visit some of his
relatives, including his grandmothers.  While we were visiting with one of
the grannies, (she's *84* years old) she managed to turn the conversation to
procreation:  "When am I going to get a great-grandchild?  I was talking the
other day with a couple of the ladies in my building.  The one downstairs has
three; one down the hall from me has five, and another one down the hall has
seven."  Me:  "But we aren't even married."  Granny:  "Oh, I don't care if
you're married . . . I just want the great-grandchildren."  I didn't know
*what* to say to that, so I just kept my mouth shut and smiled.  The great-
grandchildren are as of this writing not forthcoming.  Sorry, Grandma, could
you just give us a little more time?

             If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
             perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
             Let him step to the music he hears,
             however measured or far away.
