On Hey Big Brother: Wanna go for a little ride?

The car --  it was always a Ford -- was sitting on the driveway at home. My brother, who is 12 year's older, would be in the driver's seat. He would said, "Hey, little boy, wanna go for a little ride in the car?" The drive was simply to the garage at the end of the driveway, but I always declined. That was about 60 years ago.

Now that I am in my 60s, I have been able to turn things around. Each year I ask, "Hey, Dick, wanna go for a little ride in the ... canoe?" Each year he has greatly pleased me by saying yes and joining me for a week of paddles around Washington State. This year was no exception. -gw
