blog two: Elder

not entirely sure if there is something specific to blog about this time…. so i suppose that i will just blab about what i read?

so Write Thompson goes to a friends house, and brings some famous pizzas.  then he tells the story of how the restaurant got started.  how it was a bar first then the owners were selling pizzas as appetizers and then got into selling a variety of pizzas. he talks about the strong family ties to the restaurant; the workers pass their jobs down to their children.  he goes on to talk about how he and his friend’s family devour the pizzas and about how they are amazing.

the second reading is about how he goes to a friend’s house, and they pull out a special bottle of bourbon.  it was the guy’s late grandfather’s hidden bottle of Jim Beam, he would sneak a few sips of it over three decades. wow that’s a long time for one bottle.  the bottle reminds people of different things.  it reminds the guy of his own late father, and about the possessions of his that he owns. pretty intense article
