The Grandpa Joe in "Grandpa Joe" is Joseph Kevin O'Rourke, born in Warwick, Rhode Island on September 25, 1962 (Let me do the math for you: He is 8 years, 9 months younger than I am). He and a fellow named Dennis Taylor have a radio show that features boxing on Sundays at around 4:10 p.m. on KXRA540 AM. We have been happily married since March 18, 2006, but with a name like O'Rourke, we tend to celebrate it on March 17. Joe says I talk funny, too, like I'm from California.
