The Price of Ambition--How Much Fun You Can Have
I am sore tonight! This soreness is all because of ambition! We decided that we wanted horses. You know, a horse farm, in the country, with rolling fields of deep green grass; a handsome barn, full of sweet smelling hay and shavings for the stalls. The barn would have a separate room for the well-oiled and well-worn saddles and tack so we could throw the saddle on and go for a ride whenever we desired. Of course, we would also probably need a round pen to exercise and train, and maybe a lunging pen when needed. The lake on the farm would be clear and deep, full of fish, with a nice stream flowing away down to keep the bubbling creek running. OK, so we got what we wanted. Only it isn't quite like the...

Grandpa collected a series of 350 or so photos, reprints and postcards from World War I when he was an American soldier. For some reason he wanted to save all the pictures and they fill almost two albums. Maybe it was knowing that one day someone like me would look at the pictures and reflect on the true nature of war. Who knows. But whatever his reasons I'm glad he saved them. The effect of looking at the albums is sobering. Not much glory there in Grandpa's photo. He looked like he could have been any young kid from any state. Or any country for that matter. It was his soldier's photo album and World War I was the event of his life. It was like that for many that survived. The war ended in 1918...
