Coincidentally, my Grand-Son was born on Gil's Birthday last year.

Two days from now I will be attending my Grand-Son's Birthday Party, where he
will be taking his Walking Test.

It's a tradition I started with the First (of Five) Grand-Children that I
started Nine years ago.

The Walking Test is, I pay ONE DOLLAR for every consecutive Step taken by the
Child on the First Birthday without falling. It costed me 56 Dollars two years
ago.

It would be nice if Gil gets selected in 2005, which would be on the 50th
Anniversary of the 1955 World Series Win.

It's something to look forward too.
