flannel

My grandmother turned 90 on Sunday. 90! Isn't that amazing? March 10, 1919. Born in WWI, lived through WWII, the Great Depression, the birth of suburbs, moon landing, JFK assassination, all these profound events. I asked her about all these things and asked her what was most memorable, and she said the birth of her first child. She also said her favorite president was Eisenhower.

Tonight, she forced me to wear her pajamas so she wouldn't be cold:
flannel

We also watched the first half of Oldboy tonight, and when Dae-su eats the live octopus she didn't even flinch. Spunky, spunky woman. I hope I get to live that old and be that awesome.
