My grandmother died. Most people would get sentimental, but, instead, I'll tell what she taught me to appreciate. Chuck Norris movies. Kung Fu flicks. Stephen King Novels. Horror movies. Movies where the little guy found the big guy's weakness and exploited it and used it to save the day. Jiffy Pop. Tom Clancy novels. In college, I would stop by after classes and clean and do her shopping. When I drove coast to coast to for Swift Transportation, I sent her post cards. We were friends, not just family.
