Today, according to my west coast brother, is Biographer's Day. It's also National Barbeque Day, but since I'm still not hungry after yesterday's binge, I'll focus on biographies. Much of my blogging is autobiographical, as you have probably noticed. I have never attempted to write a biography of someone else. However, if I ever do get the urge, I have some great choices just within my family. There was my maternal grandmother who claimed to have gotten married because she "wanted to see what was on the other side of the mountain." Or my maternal grandfather who worked in a Pennsylvania coal mine to earn money to go to seminary. My paternal grandmother came to work as a housekeeper and ended up marrying a son of the family, my grandfather. My mother and her brother both learned to fly planes at a time when that wasn't too common. I could go on and on but you get the idea. Hummm... perhaps I should write a biography.
