One person from your past you wish you could go back and talk to: Grandpa. He died 22 years ago and I'm curious how his reaction would have been to my husband...I would like to think he would approve (especially the army connection they would have).

Type a line you remember from any book: I do not recall it word for work, but a line really stood out to me from 11/22/63: towards the end, one of the main characters was saying something along the lines that while she did not vote for the president, he is still her president and I can't remember the rest but I thought to myself how fitting that is to today (without blowing the story too much, the conversation was about stopping the assassination of JFK).
