And there is the headlight,
shining far down the track,
glinting off the steel rails that,
like all parallel lines,
will meet in infinity,
which is after all where this train is going.

Grandson, Michael, learned how to run my model train today. It took only one showing for him to realize the orange lever controlled the speed of the train, and the black button made it whistle (much to the dog’s consternation). I was amazed since he just turned two. Then he looked at me with those Paul Newman eyes and called me by name for the first time. Misegades is a complex word for a two year old. I immediately decided I’d have to write a will so I can leave my model train to him.

He looks like he will be a natural engineer. He would have fun at our Railroad museum here in Wilmington.
Speaking of trains. On Saturday My In-Laws, Wife, and son Cole and I went to the Wilmington Railroad museum. We had such a good time. They have a large wonderful interactive childrens area. So many model train set ups. I tell you it was fun for all ages. We decided that we will be having Cole’s 2nd Birthday party there. They even have an actual caboose that we could have the party on. It might be a little cold so we will probably have it inside. Mom I will send you the details when I get them. You would absolutly love the museum.
Hi, what a cutie. Kids soak up so much info, it’s hard to believe, they are little sponges. I meant that to be flattering.
Grandsons are so special.
