I’ve never understood people’s obsession with not growing older. My mother (who, I might add, colored her hair regularly; I’ve never even seen her natural hair color) used to say, “Wear your age like a badge of honor, because every year you have is a year you’ve earned.” Granted, people always tell me that I don’t look my age anyway, but I don’t go out of my way about it. Heck, my husband & daughters LIKE the silver in my hair.
Eleven weeks ago Red was looking forward to his summer vacation, and now it’s pretty much over. I remember being on summer vacation after first grade, I didn’t bother with the calendar or dates or anything, I lived every day like that was the way life was now. And the summer did seem to last forever.

Grow’n old, huh, nooo
What is it good for?
Absolutely nutthin’, uh-huh, uh-huh
Old and worn, I despise
’Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
It means tears to thousands of mothers’ eyes
When their sons go old too soon and lose their jives

Yay! Back to normal. I hadn’t realized Red’s real name before. Russell kind of fits him. And then there’s Rover McLean!

Does anyone know if Red has a middle name and what it is?
As kids, we knew we were in real trouble if mom used all three of our names: First, Middle, & Last (or even just the first and middle names)
