Do you have a blog or website with similar anecdotes of life? I found this very interesting.

I never thought about it!

After my dad passed, I realized I had taken for granted all the anecdotes he told me. These days, when I think about one of them I write it down in a log.

I do have my grandfather's letters when he went around the world in 1895 on a steamboat.
