He's not like your dad. He's no ordinary grandpa. He's PopPop, he comes from another world that's long gone, and he's here now to offer his own unique and often humorous, down home perspective on life.

Now 80, PopPop recounts tales of the past, peppered with his observations and anecdotes on life and love, in a series of conversations with his son.
