Father
Sunday is fathers day.
My favorite photo of my father, is of us both. Circa 1999, at the BIX 7, a seven mile race, that we did together.
My father is married some 35+ odd years, raised three children, and is retired. Conversing him today, he said I have to make priorities, and possibly stop running around "on cruises and on holes in the ground". The former referring to the faerie gathering, the later the gay cruise.
If I havn't fallen completely apart, a strong omen, is that it is forthcomming. The dishwasher, washer needs to replaced. The house needs to be repainted, a new furnance/water heater is in the works, and specifically to our conversation, the driveway could be blacktopped.
I have a life. Rome wasn't built in a day.
The problem is two fold: time and money. If I had the time, I could get things accomplished. The problem isn't really time, as time is an abstraction of distortion. The problem is money. And the problem isn't money, its more just setting priorities.
My priority currently is to make it through 2008. THat's the goal.
And yes, I'm looking at chewing off the fat for 2009. Quite frankly, going to slow down next year-this year is already shot-as far as I am concerned. Get me through August, we will talk.
I travel because I can. Because I enjoy it. Because I need to break. We all need the break.
Unfortunately, I'm single. A blessing and a curse. I don't have the luxury to have someone to help me with projects. "I've taught myself how to cook, fix plumming, wash clothes, balance my checkbook--- all I need from anyone is respect...".
I just don't think he realises what it is like to be single, And he is not offering any help.
For fathers day, I think I'll get a card.
