Dad and I didn't make it to Boston, but it's ok. My great-grandfather lived a happy and full life, and I know it. It's sad, but he is at peace, and that is a comfort. I was lucky to know him so well, and to have heard so many of his stories about life before WWI and the roaring twenites, Babe Ruth, Charlie Chaplin, and life in general. On a positive note, I still have two great-great aunts (yes, great-great) living up north. One is a nun, the other... I'm not sure. But they're still fully functional and happy and alive. I need to make sure to talk to them. My family is so aged... I didn't think about having relatives over 100 years old before... Relatives who have seen the twentieth century and then some. There is so much untapped knowledge there... so much history and learning. So much life. These are people who's father fought in the Civil War, and cousins served in the Spanish- American War. Their great-grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War. Wow. Planning a trip up north soon...
I went to Athens this evening (I know I'm a butthead Sarah, but I was there for a very specific purpose and came straight back home afterwards). I saw the orchestra festival, and Sam's was amazing... one of the best I've heard in a loooong time. It was jsut a really great evening... I needed it after everything going on recently. So now I'm in an amazing mood and will sleep very very well.
Oh, I've turned back on anonymous posts, but only under these conditions: leave a name, leave a name, leave a name... or some identifying feature. No rude patronizing posts or lectures. I do track IP addresses, so I know who posts anyways. Just keep it honest. Thank you. I don't want to turn them off yet again, and I will if need be.
OK, still in a great mood. I want chocolate. Goodnight. :)
