Bydgoszcz, Poland

July 27 1982, yup the day I was born. It’s a little different standing here 26+ years later. Now that I’m back, and I can actually remember something its nice being able to take in the history.

I had the luxury of speaking to my grandmother I hadn’t seen for 20 years, let me tell you something, As soon as I stepped inside her apartment it felt like I went back in time 50 years, everything had its age. When my grandma spoke, she spoke old eastern euopean, ideals, thoughts, stories, but best of all she did it with a cigarette in hand. That may not seem like a feat but shes 92 years young and every screw is as tight as it was the day she was born, amazing!!

Some would say she should stop smoking, I say screw it. If she lived to be 92 I think she has the right to say whats good for her.
