A visit home

[_lauren_]

This past weekend I returned to my parents for a short visit. I hadn't been to the farm since Christmas so it certainly was time for me to pay it a visit especially when everything is alive and green. My time spent with my parents, my childhood friend Phillip, as well as time spent basking outside in the clean country air while being serenaded by

Yay for weekends in the country!

Why do you think your Dad swung from the left over to the right?

I'm not sure why he switched sides. I suppose it probably is the area that they live in. Everyone tends to be pretty like minded there so he's been influenced quite a bit. Or what was once important to him no longer is. I don't know his reasons but I know he's not a stupid man and probably has good ones for doing so.

Its just a bummer not to get to see the guy who protested the Vietnam war and was more enviornmentally concious then than he is now. He was a long haired, pot smoking liberal ^.^

I mean no disrespect by this, but maybe your Dad needs to go out back and smoke a doob. It's probably one of the things that got him to open his mind in the first place way back when.

How about read a book?
I'm not sure how many of life's great philosophers were smoking "doobs" for inspiration. Artists and Musicians perhaps. Thinkers, not so much.

I don't know where he gets his information but I know he listens to NPR.

And I bet there are a lot of philosophers that smoke. ^.^

Haha yeah perhaps.
