IT CAME ABOUT AFTER A 2:00AM CHAT WITH MY GRANDSON BERNIE.

RYAN, BERNARD,PATRICK

Two mornings ago at 2am, my grandson Bernie came into the net for a chat with a "Hi Kong Kong".
(We are 12hours ahead of Bahamas). This guy has Karen's and Patrina's genes. He scores between 97-99 for most of his subjects. His teacher says that if he gives Bernie 100% then there is no room for improvement! Is this true. Bernie is Bahamas 2008 National Mathematics Champion; plays the piano annually at the Governor's House; recently gave a recital at Paradise Island's Atlantis; and soon will pack his bags to attend Interlochen Summer Camp (for musicians). He is a kid every grandfather would be proud of. But this is not what this post is all about!

At 2:30 Patrina joined in. We talked about the fuel hike. She spends USD100 a week on gas on her Dodge El Dorado SUV....a guzzler. I asked if she was going for a more economical car. "No way, Pa. My mechanic will be installing a Water4Gas contraption. You should do it for your Volvo."
We went off the chat at 3:45am and this is where I visited.

Is this possible? You find out for yourself.

Just an aside on Bernie: updated today 26 June 9:57am:

Hi Pa

Thanks for this great laugh!! We are off to Atlantis for a few days of R&R. The kids finished school today and Bernard won 13 awards and the highest academic average 97.7, got his shirt signed by the whole school, played his piano pieces as a good bye gift and will wonders never cease, actually won a P.E. award this year too!

Ryan and Patrick don't have such pressures yet so they spend the morning eating and swimming. Patrick hit the buffet table at 9am and only stopped when he had to take a swim!


Pictures will be forthcoming!

Love
