renewed reason

so I went to the CWS yesterday with my grandfather.

and we were talking, and we was telling me all these cool stories about how he worked 90 hour weeks in college emptying coal from rail cars or how he played at rosenblatt when he was in high school or how he got his first job at a john deere shop.

and I just found myself longing for more and more stories and lessons and just history of how he lived and what he did. I feel like a lot will be lost whenever he passes if I don't get to know more and more about him.

so now I feel like I should start writing more here or somewhere so that someone knows what I did, so that a grandchild of mine could appreciate my life. and I know that I've said that before, but I guess yesterday just kinda made me want to do better at keeping this up, you know?

so I begin again.
