Week 2

This week, Dylan and I spent our time with Jerry exchanging stories in his living room once again. We had planned to help Jerry pick out some new furniture, but the freezing temperatures stopped us. He shared many more exciting stories that further displayed his adventurous lifestyle when he was younger. Dylan spotted a book titled "Woodstock" on the coffee table which quickly led to Jerry sharing about his experiences there. Following this, he told us about a time where he and a group of 30 sum friends rented a bus and drove down to Colorado for a music festival. At the end of the trip, they bought out a liquor store of all their Coors products because it was only sold in-state at that time.  His stories and love for travel is inspiring. He emphasized the fact that Dylan and I need to take advantage of our ample time and energy while we can because at a certain point your opportunities dwindle. After sharing this, he seemed almost sad that he could no longer explore the globe but made it clear that he has lived a good life. With this being said, I believe Jerry's advice to capitalize on your youth and do what you love while you can is very important. Perhaps depression later in life stems from the realization that you can longer do certain things that were once possible in your youth,
