A sampling of my dad\'s stories: When my dad was a young kid growing up on my Granddad Hand\'s farm in rural northern New Jersey, winter time was a very cold time of the year. My granddad would load a large cart with potatoes and start out very early in the morning, headed for the retail market in Newark - about 20 miles from the farm. The team of horses would finally get him to the market in time for him to set up his display ready for selling.By late afternoon he would have sold all of his potatoes and would start for home - and a warm cozy bed. In those days, there was no way of having the waiting bed any way but freezing cold in the middle of the night - the time grandpa would be returning home; and the British bed-warming pan was unheard of around the Hand farm. (But there is a story that was told about my Pop during his newlywed days when he wrapped an oven-hot brick in a towel and set Mom\'s and his bed on fire!) Grandpa had thought of a way to make a little boy happy - and a grown man comfortably warm. My dad and he had agreed on a deal. He
