        My grandpa had a handful of stories that he told over and over again. Yes, it got a little hard to laugh and react at the correct parts after 20 listens. But I must say that I would absolutely love the chance to travel back in time and hear him spin one of his yarns again.

          Same.

          Every time I visited him, even if it was the third time that week, he would break out a small flashlight he replaced the incandescent bulb with a (very dim) led, tell me about how LEDs work, and demonstrate the fact that it won’t work in reverse…

          I still have the flashlight.
