Dad’s Camera

I took this with Dad’s camera last summer. Or was it the summer before last. I don’t remember. It was at Nubble Lighthouse in Maine.

I took Dad’s camera to New York this past weekend and with the exception of a couple of pics with my iPhone it was the only camera I used. It’ll probably be years before I get the film developed though, so you’re just going to have to be patient. You and me both.

I Hate Moments Like This

I just read a news article talking about where the biggest free agents in Major League Baseball could be signing during this off season. The article predicted a couple of big names signing in Boston. I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not, but my first thought upon finishing the article was to send it to my father.

Shit.

I still have moments like this with my mother. Moments where I think to mention something to her only to then remember that she’s gone. Now I have to deal with things like that for my father too. He’s only been gone for about four months. It seems like yesterday, but also it seems like it never happened. I guess for both of my parents the reason it seems like it never happened is because I want it to have never happened.

I hate moments like this. I expect I’ll be hating them for the rest of my life. I miss my parents. This xmas is going to be tough.

Star

The star on top of our xmas tree is dead. It died over the off season somehow. When we put it up this year it didn’t work.

It took me a couple of weeks, but I finally got a replacement yesterday. It’s not nearly as nice. I’ll have to upgrade it next year, if I can remember to do it.

Hiss

Jen looked over at the cat tree and saw them snuggled up with each other. It was adorable. We both took out our phones, brought up the camera app, and then as we both pointed them at the cats they started hissing at each other and a millisecond after I snapped this they were trying to murder each other.

Oh well.
