Man, I hope I live to see my grandchildren read my book, The Graysonian Ethic: Lessons for my unborn son (He's born now, and he's beautiful). I bet parts of it will seem archaic, since it's directly addressing contemporary issues, but other parts will likely be timeless. It'd be really interesting if I could see them come of age and we'd get to see what they thought of their grandparents. The world will likely be a much different place by then, and not in ways you think.
