Having had my days to myself for awhile now I have had no choice but to think about the recent passing of my grandfather.  I'm out of grandfathers now.  The first one died when I was very young, but I remember him from his voices reading B'rer Rabbit stories, his and his bald head and pipe owner colored teeth.  The last one passed less than a month ago.  I miss him.  He was an atheist and in his mind the life he lived was all the life their was.  It is the single bravest way to pass through the world I can think of.  I know he helped create the most deady thing conceived, watched an atom separate and burn the sand to glass.  He was a physicist in the era of the Rockstar Physicist.  And I miss him.
