“Have fun storming the castle!” has come out of my mouth more times than I could count, and now continues with grandchildren, for there are still walls to assail.

Oh! I say that one too! ("Have fun storming the castle!") And, now I'll say it even more, as a tribute to Rob Reiner.

Beautiful.. I couldn't help but remember being in a car line at a private school in Orlando we couldn't afford with cars that were newer, brighter and ten times as expensive as our rusty Dodge spewing trash as the kids piled out. . Emblematic? There's certainly deeper spiritual truths there too I suppose.

Indeed. I can remember all the times my kids were rushing out of the car and I was just praying the Starbuck's cups and other trash wouldn't spill out on the curb and expose me.
