talked to christine yesterday...i'm sure i do what everyone else does on these facebook things..( she doesn't and we never even mentioned this site)...i get a bit personal but i'll tell you that these days i do it prayerfully..as much as my particular upbringing directs...i try to be careful..facebook is fine..but i'm not on the internet..and when christine decides this thing is still costing her rent...for no good reason..she'll pull it...i'd do the same thing..we are not partners on it..she will complete her online degree in accounting in november...she's maintaining...starts her days with running..feeds her pets..gets some breakfast...goes to the Y...swims and lifts weights...she's done this since forever...she developed a sort of commraderie at the 'Y'...years ago..and its cheap..she then works a basic job to pay her bills...she lived down the road from me in her our high school years...she's not in massachusetts now...i'm the miniter's kid who became a short order musical cook at a young age..and even today dad asked me if i wanted to fly to washington dc next week as he'll be recieving some sort of reward and recognition etc. ..he has another minister buddy who can fly if i feel i can't or don't want to...and i told him i thought forest falls is a priority as we both decided last week...it's now a detriment to me and i can't afford two pieces of real estate..never could..that's not my pocketbook...and i work for my dad..who gets good pensions...from all sides...it's a choice...but it's more of a calling or if you want to get mundane...a well instilled habit..to be part of a team..man wise...mom shared her man from time to time..and didn't mind doing it...i'm overly sheltered...i don't REALLY think i'm the second degree type when it comes to this nursing stuff...dad doesn't need a nurse...it's just all about preventative medicine and smarts in health..and our family has longevity in the genes so far...on top of it..self expression eases depression...gives hope...as some writer wrote ...but practicality rules...i can't be overly sentimental about spending every single moment with my dad anymore than i was with my mother...she wanted me to go to massachusetts..explore my future possibilities and not get too hung up on what they were doing as a couple..they didn't want much outside help and could have had it...aka people coming to their home..which frustrated me at times ..as they preferred me to having anyone at all...little double edged sword stuff there which contiues with dad but i'm telling him ..to go ahead and keep his support system strong which he has been able to do a lot more than my mother's illness allowed...it's still a sad time though of potential loss and you fight the good fight on that front..while knowing that certain talents were bestowed..i'll soon be up in the mountains with my piano..it's been both places...but this is a temporary..good set up that dad set up himself...and it will not be needed at a certain point..it's his pension...he gets to spend it his way...we'll see how i do selling a location location location piece of property...ideally it should go to someone who can completely re-build and make something as nice as the stone castle adjacent to my modest home...i have land...not as much as the Altadena Milk Co. trust castle...but it's still penthouse property..in the mist of forest falls...it snowed last night..and it's very beautiful..but married lady time is over.....we could afford it...now i can't...i have to mingle...i'm your basic gigging musician...teacher...who dabbled...which is to say i never went and got my doctorate at a time that would have allowed tenure tract priveleges..now on that...i have to say..i'm just plainly TOO OLD...LOL...further more...it was never my heart...to be a professor...that comes out of experience...and side line master class mentality for many musicians....just how successful are HALL AND OATES ? WICKED SUCCESSFUL...i didn't go to daryl's grange hall deal last winter near his house...i could have...had a ticket...saw all the mud and how tiny the grange hall was and got the hell outta dodge...i didn't wanna run into one of his ladies...LOL
