Over Afternoon Tea

Tea is not only a drink but a ritual over which people have been relaxing, talking, and catching up on each other's lives for centuries. This blog is intended to serve as a virtual cup of tea, helping me keep in touch with friends and family in my physical absence.

I'm in love.
He walks in the door every morning in his coat and a hat I haven't seen since Tom Landry, greeting the secretaries with a cheery "Good morning, ladies!" He calls me 'Tex' and keeps me updated on the Cowboys' ranking in a delightful Houston drawl that made me like him the first time he opened his mouth. He drives us to lunch in his silver Jaguar (complete with cop-monitor) and lets the secretaries out at the door. He's ex-Navy and full of salty stories, always told with smiling euphemisms in the presence of 'the ladies'. He recites old-fashioned nursery rhymes to the other attorney's kids and promises them white ponies. He's sweet, adorable, and three times my age.
Can I adopt another grandfather?
