9 years old? I was busy blowing up models with firecrackers and M80s. My how things have changed.

Scary. You're like my alter-ego. Did you ever try using a wrist-rocket to sink a model of the Arizona in a back-yard pond?

My unsolicited 2c?

I was talking a coworker the other day. I had just taken my (unquestionably male) toddler to a tractor museum and he had an absolute blast.

CoWorkers remark? "At least he's not gay."

I must've looked perplexed, because she called over to a second coworker - who, while being a nice enough guy to work with, could give flaming queen lessons to Liberace - and said "Hey (guy)....did you like to mess with big greasy smelly dirty Steam-powered tractors when you were a kid?"

His response? "Uck! Why would I want to do that?" She just smiled and rested her case.

I'm looking forward to blowing up models with firecrackers with WBill Jr. It'll be awhile, but all too soon at the same time.
