    As the frequency of my bodily traveling increases, it’s becoming clear that something is building. Something that, according to the letter from my Grandfather, will send me back to 1933. As many questions as the readers of this blog may have, believe me, I have more.

    I’m not sure at all what the details of this trip will be. Will I travel back to the exact date the letter from my Grandfather was written?
