Wow, well once again, I haven't posted in DECADES. But more to the point, I have much to report.
School's going great. This upcoming Thursday is my night of the Playwriting Festival for drama class at school!! This play that I wrote is going to be performed by a bunch of adults, and some of them are teachers!!! Is that cool or what?! I'm totally looking forward to it.
Part of the reason why I haven't had time to update this blog is that I've kinda been on the move. At funerals and whatnot. Yes, I mentioned my grandpa's death (R.I.P.) but just a week after his funeral, my great grandpa also passed away. He was 101, or really almost 102, since his birthday was coming up in February.
Great Grandpa Al came over from Poland when he was younger. He came through Ellis Island, and a few years back Mom, Dad, and I went with him and a bunch of other family members to visit Ellis Island. It was a very interesting experience. We ate Hershey's bars, which Great Grandpa had to eat a lot of during his time there (there was a vending machine, which was his only reliable food source.) Great Grandpa had a heart problem, so if he weren't for the fact that his dad bailed him out, he might not have been able to pass through Ellis Island into Detroit, and eventually Washington D.C., where he's lived with my great aunt and uncle Jeff and Beth the past few years. His wife, my great grandma Mollie who I never got to meet, was my namesake. We will all remember Great Grandpa for his positive attitude, his loving personality, and his talent at playing checkers (it's a long story.) He and Grandpa are probably playing checkers together on a special checkerboard made of clouds as we speak.
