I don't think he's going to either

I am going to Michigan sometime in November and I will hopefully get the last of the material I need after going through my father's LP collection and demanding he play random stuff on the piano and tell me what it is (this was a comedy of errors trying to figure stuff out while texting each other over IM). I can get the stuff after this because by that point I was operating record players myself and reading liner notes, etc.

So I have a plan to do it, it's just not one of those Sunday evening things. I may take a few days off of work.




1. Nothing like something that leads to some quality Father & Son time, BABY!

2. This sounds more involved than you gave the impression it was going to be.

3. You ever consider a diary/book about your path back to E? Hey, you might as well try to make money off this, BABY!

4. I just realized you're turning 40....and still no first born you can name Satchmo! WTF?

I'll get these number by number:

1. Ten years ago that honestly would not have happened. I probably would not even have told him I was doing this, much less involved him it it. Then again, ten years ago I would not have bothered with this. I was just trying to get out of my 20's while I was still alive. Recapping my life in any way didn't seem like something I needed to be wasting time doing.

2. I didn't know either, to be perfectly honest. And to be honest again, I am not completely sure how close I really am to the end. But I do now know that it's a bigger project and one that I need to devote proper attention to in order to do this properly. Of course, I don't even know that it's going to accomplish anything, but in the absence of nothing I am willing to give it a try. I was taking this a little casually before.

3. Bringing Back The E: How One Music Fan Reconciled His Life And Found Peace. Hmm...might not be a bad idea to at least jot this stuff down. It might make a nice article actually, something people might be interested in reading if I posted it on a website. As for selling it...sure why not?

4. No kids. I leave that to other people. My brothers have two wonderful children and I am proud of them, and I love my nephews. But I have never been interested in being a father. I have two other siblings who are in the same boat (although I suspect my yongest sister, who is agonizing over turning 30 this year - oh the horror - may change her tune at some point). Whether that makes me selfish, or perhaps merely a realist, I don't know. But, at least right now, that's the way it is.

Works for me. Just don't forget to give a shoutout to Satchmo for giving you the idea.
