He'd prop up his feet in the lazy-boy recliner and catch a good nap. That room would be blazin' hot, but he liked it that way.Neill Meansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512646768390859513.post-83462838653163869372009-07-18T22:25:28.312-05:002009-07-18T22:25:28.312-05:00As a child I spent many summers in Albany.

I can remember many summer nights sitting in their yard watching a movie. I have not thought about that in many years.
