Max is a grandparent games addict

I visited Max last week. Every time he saw me he said one of two things. Either he said "Railroad Song" by which he meant that knew that the lyrics to "I've been working on the railroad" were about railroads and not about "the eyes of Texas" as I had been insisting or he said "grandparent games - space shot" by which he meant that he need to see the space shuttle launch immediately. This was followed by "elephant song" and a litany of his other favorite places on grandparent games. This is an improvement on his previous insistence on watching a five minute long Washington Metro ride.

In any case it is clear that my value to Max as a grandparent is in my willingness and ability to do this with him.
