Generation 4 - Newton Legalos

My name is Newton Legalos. I am the son of Magna and Remington. I moved to this house when I was a little boy. My mother was always very concerned about appearances and she wanted me to grow up in a big house. I don't know if it made much difference, if I turned out good or not. My mother was a doctor, my father a business man. They weren't very happy when I told them I wanted to become a professional athelete, but I did. There was no way I could spend my life cooped up inside like they did.

I married a real sweet girl. Erika Jayaplan. She was our gardener. My mother wasn't happy I had married someone in a 'service' profession, but Erika is a real lady, and she stole my heart. We had to stay here at "The Manor" and live with my parents. They were getting too old to take care of the place, and of course she couldn't risk her "alien brother" Gallileo taking over (even though he is my favorite uncle and completely cool). So Erika and I stayed and raised our family here. It's nice enough I guess, and Erika is glad she doesn't have to take care of the yard anymore.

We had two sons. I'd like you to meet them.

This is Socrates, my first son. I'm very proud of him, of course. He's the heir to all of this. Sometimes I worry he's too much of a ladies man, but he's the kind of guy who lights up the room when he walks into it. He can talk to anybody about anything. I think Grandfather Capernicus would have really enjoyed him. He's had the hots for our maid ever since he was a little tyke. I never dreamed he'd grow up to marry her - but he did - well - he almost didn't, but I'll let him tell you that story. He was the first of our family line to go to college, of course he majored in Philosophy. He was the most popular guy on campus and he founded a fraternity. He called it "Ho-Ho-Ho". Must have been some kind of Christmas party they were having to make him name it that.

This is Apollo. We try not to call him the "Spare Heir". We didn't want Socrates to grow up an only child, and my mother was so pressuring about this legacy thing.... well, you never know when a sattelite will fall on some one - or the diswasher will jump out and eat them. So this is Apollo, who is a very smart young man. He's in college at the moment, took over the Fraternity that Socrates started. We don't hear from him as much as we'd like, but he's a good boy and I'm sure he's fine.

Oh heck, he'll probably hate me for adding this picture in - but this is Socrates as a baby ("Little Socky" as we called him and I swore never to tell anyone about that nickname). My mother Magna will come back from her grave and strangle me if I don't mention that she purchased all of the furniture and decor for this room, and painted all of the artwork.

Well, maybe this is kind of personal, but we just put in a new hot tub this week - so here is a picture of me with my sweetie Erika "heating it up"

Erika and I are more and love than ever - the Legalos men only improve with age you know. I may have sacrificed some of my own personal happiness not being able to spend time with as many friends as I'd like to - but to be with Erika and raise two fine boys like Socrates and Apollo it's been worth it. Erika could have had any boy in the neighbhorhood - but she has remained my faithful wife - I know our example has made an impression on Socrates.
