A HUGE fan of HUGE fans

Anybody who knows my 10-year-old knows he is a lover of fans. The bigger, the better. Well, we elevated his autumn by taking a Sunday drive to the windmill farm just 10 miles south of home. We can see the windmills from our back yard, but they're about the size of toy tops (funny thing, perspective). As we rounded the bend to the windmill farm, C gushed an unfettered "OH. MY. GOSH." at the sight of nine monstrous behemoths churning butter in the wind. The sound they made was like jet engine turbines preparing for takeoff; rivaled only by C's glee scampering as close as possible to the barbed-wire fence that keeps us fans of fans at safe gawking distance.

    What a fun and educational excursion. Some things never change -- maybe he'll grow up to "build a better FAN."
