His face is so perfectly round that his smile looks like a gash in a basketball. In those days I slept in uniform-shoes, too." My grandfather smiles. You think you're ready? You think you've got the gumption?" "There's something I want to tell you, son," he says. My grandfather slams the door and motions me to the chair in front of his desk.
