"The Blockheads" by my grandfather, ca. 1980.

Still hangs on my wall.

He was a very special guy. Lived to be 102. I wish he had been immortal. The world needs guys like him.

Never leaves a gap unfilled
Always pays on time
Always fits the bill
He comes well prepared
Cube top, squared-off
Eight corners, 90 degree angles
Flat top, stares straight ahead
Stock parts, blockhead

But he definitely was able to think outside of a lot of boxes.

When he was 99, he sent out Christmas cards with a current photo of himself and the caption: "Compliments of the Seasoned."
