Sorry about that.  That light was a real pain to fix!  So as I was saying, Nathan was around 3 years old and living in a house way off the road with no houses around.  They were literally surrounded by cornfields.  So it was natural for boys to pee wherever and whenever they had to in that kind of setting.  Kind of like college guys walking home from the bars and one of them getting frisked by the police because they though there was a theft going on.  Another great Penn State story for later, right 00-zero?.  Pap and Gramma Greene lived in the town of East Palestine, OH which is not far from Beaver County.  So one day, my family and I were in the car heading to Pap's house.  When we get to their house, there is Nathan in the front yard peeing in the hedges along their front porch.  I am pretty sure he was writing his name because it looked like he was crossing his "T".  I told you he was smart, even at 3 he could spell his name.  So there we are laughing histerically as we drove down the road into Pap's driveway.  I can't wait to talk to Nathan's wife again and tell her that one.

The other story, he was a few years older and my cousins from Tennessee were up to visit.  We decided to all sleep down in the basement on mattresses.  We were getting ready for bed and pairing up who was sleeping with who on the mattresses.  Usually not a big deal, we're all family here.  But Nathan refused to share a mattress with Jimmy.  I hate to name names, but it had to be done.  Sorry Jimmy.  So we are all confused wondering why Nathan wouldn't sleep with Jimmy.  So we asked Nathan, "What's the matter?"  Well he must have gotten a glimpse of Jimmy in his underwear.  They must have been his church underwear, because apparently they were HOLEY.  Nathan didn't want to sleep with Jimmy because he had holes in his underwear!  That must have kept us up half the night making fun of Jimmy and his underwear. 

How appropriate that Jimmy's song "I will be here" started playing. 

I am going to give his mailing address if anybody wants to send him a care package or a message.  I know that he loves beef jerky and he's probably a Steeler fan.
