Trip
I am sitting here listening to a mix that Harriet gave me. I’m loving it; it’s perfect for work and will delay the moment when I stream my radio, thereby breaking the law of the office.
I had a weird evening yesterday evening. I spoke to my step-father, who lives in Florida. He and my mother aren’t married anymore, so sometimes I call him “my mother’s ex-husband.” Anything I said about my relationship with him would take more time than I have sitting here at work. I’ve known him since I was four and he’s a decent guy, though a mediocre parental figure.
But he asked me to visit him. I don’t think he’s ever really asked me to visit before, and so I haven’t seen him in almost 10 years. But I think I’ll try to visit him in March. I’m afraid of what I’ll find there…I don’t want to find him old and depressed. He has a “lady friend” and I would like to meet her. She sounds like she has a lot of common sense.
This should be an interesting trip…if it happens.

That sounds like it will be an interesting (and hopefully fun) trip.

I’m so glad you liked the mix. I made is specifically for working to and tried to set it up so it worked as a loop if you wanted to repeat it, because that’s how I tend to listen to things when I’m working. I’m glad you are thinking of seeing J. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for him, probably because of the conversations he used to try to have with me about audio equipment and recordings. And also, he reminds me a little of my uncle. I wish I could meet you down there and do something fun. I have been feeling very sorry for myself since getting back from NY that you don’t live down the street or at least close enough that I could come over for wine after AJ’s in bed.
