Grayson Still Rocks My World
Be careful watching the video if you're hormonal.

One night, I wrote him this long e-mail, well, anyway, I wrote one to Grayson for Congress talking about how,as a young(ish) liberal, I was so tired of looking to gravesides for inspiration that he was only allowed to die:
40 years from now.
Either "in the saddle" as legend said John Garfield had.
-trying to unionize his assisted-living facility
or trying to fix his own satellite dish at age ninety
(I think I wrote that after the kids picked up the phone on the death threats.)
I wonder if he ever saw it. I bet it made a nice change from the "Die, you commie pinko Jewboy trial-lawyer scumbag" letters in the wacko file, though.(Some people think those things are BAD. Whereas they make me want to amend my profile settings.)
I'm torn about whether I'd want him to read it...I was feeling pretty unguarded and like a fatherless child when I wrote it(once you get used to having a man to turn to...the habit never really goes away. Even when it really should.)
Not that Grayson is my Good Dad. Although it tore me up when Carol Burnett, who had to be over sixty when she wrote her memoir, wrote that about Jimmy Stewart. That she liked his movies best because she liked getting a look at what her dad could be without the bottle.
They are both asthmatic and over six feet tall, though. Were both sickly boys from humble origins.
One became a crusader. One became completely gutless.
