Could you please explain how you retired in 1995 to watch your grandson play baseball, but ten years later he is in eighth grade. Did I miss something there or was he three when he started? Those games are a blast to watch. (grin - not sarcastic)

Carl was born in 1991; that makes him 14 now, one year older than the average eighth grader.
That's because his birthday is November 26, the same date as his paternal great-grandmother. He was 7 when he started the first grade.
He'll catch up next year. When he reaches high school, he will already have four credits: algebra I and II, geometry, and Spanish I. It's a class for English dominant speakers. Still, he's the only gringo in the group. His teacher told me at open house Carl had the best accent.
My math shows he was four in November 1995 after I retired in May. We play T-ball in Edinburg at four. When he started baseball in 1996, he was 4 years, 5 months old.
He threw right, batted left. Good.
He's a Boston fan. Bad.
