#WednesdayWisdom
a little life advice from Old Man Loquat, everybody's honorary granddad in the Grace the Hit Mom series. (Yes, he gets most of his wisdom from my own late Grandpa!)

"Never listen to people when they say older stuff is always better. If they had the current stuff back then, they'd be saying THAT stuff was better. Everybody always thinks the past was better. I was there, it wasn't." #GrandpaWisdom

A great line just waiting for a crusty older character to say it...

Throw enough mud on the wall... A scorching afternoon, an empty playground, a stubborn rim, and a grandfather's wisdom & vodka tonic. Every miss is a step closer to a make. Keep shooting, because sooner or later, a shot will go in.

Bricks stacked. Sweat dripped. The sun burned. Grandpa sipped his vodka tonic & grinned.

"Just keep shooting," he said. "Sooner or later, a shot will go in."

Turns out, he was right—about basketball and life.

It's like my Grandfather used to say
"Laugh and the world laughs with you....you CRY and I'll whoop your ass you little bastard!"

On this #GrandparentsDay -- a memory of reading with my Grandpa, a savvy, self-educated classic mystery fan. His best advice:

"You can't fix stupid. You can fix ignorant, but you can't fix stupid. And you'd better be smart enough to know the difference."

#WednesdayWisdom
from The Last Star's grandpa -- and mine!

"You can fix ignorant, but you can’t fix stupid, and you’d better be smart enough to know the difference."

(Susan Sawyer, the Last Star, will be returning next year...details to come!)
