“Hey Erik, it’s Erik. Right now i’m sitting in the village, trying to...”
– A note written to myself on November 8, 2005. I received it in my email this morning. If I had a reverse time capsule, I would write back: “You did good, past Erik. Thank you.”

Beloit College Mindset List →

Watching The Pacific made me realize that I need to talk more with my grandfather — who served as a Navy Commander in the Pacific Theater — about his time during the War. Growing up, I was the middle grandchild; four of my cousins were younger, and four older than me. There is a 12 year difference between the oldest and youngest.
