For someone whose life has always revolved around music, one would think that I would have more texts from the pops re: music. But I don't. This is what I have from him. So read it and enjoy it. That is all.

Poetry by text.
My father's rants, some of which he remembers and some of which he doesn't. Ive been told to save his texts and voice mails for years, and I finally decided to do something about it. A hippie by design, he was not left behind in the summer of love. He has carried his quirks through the years, brought them into my life and further on to your computer... ENJOY!

They'd been going in and
out of style and when Saddem

CAKE', H. DUB REPLIED,
that ain't something we gonna take.
You been going in and out of style,

Just for fun, in all seriousness...
Every now and then (on a daily basis) I receive a ridiculous text from Dad. While most of them don't require responses on my part, they are worth saving and worth sharing. I would put them into some sort of context for you, but generally, there isn't one.

'The Illusionist'
On our bi- weekly film escapade, we found ourselves at the illustrated The Illusionist, specifically due to the time as "dad's bus was late." Uh huh.
Feb. 10, 9:57 pm.
Was just thinking of
'Illusionist'.
Find mind viewing
'non animated' black and white
'40's flick.
Could have been titled
"A Woman and a Man" or "A
Man and a Woman". I Love
You, Pop, the Dad.
p.s. I'm still looking for
the Collie.

Shabbat 1. 2. 3.
Over the years, Dad has become relatively religious. Between observing Jewish tradition and keeping himself plugged in with today's technology (and his children,) he has a tendency to sign out every Friday afternoon as a reminder. Whether it is a way for himself to remember or a way to remind us, his recipients to recognize "that time of week" is irrelevant. The point is, that in fact, they are usually a pretty awesome read.

Dinner by imagination.
As my parents have been divorced much longer than they were ever married at this point, I think it is still hard for my father to have two adult children, still imagining us to be seven and ten years old, respectively.
Feb. 2, 11:36 am.
Are You coming for dinner
tonight?
11:51 am.
Was thinking 30 or 36 inches,
round table, family style,
for highlight, OH-OH
great ginger sauce I put up in
'79, should
be ready about 6 pm.
Fone when ready to leave
shall pick u up. lovesda, Pop.
Say hi to yer Maw.
me: 12:01 pm.
Haha ok. Only if Santa can come by.
1:06 pm.
Fine. Send his coordinates.
Recently picked up a 1937
2 seater Shirvan, black and
silver with red trim. Let me know
and I send it for him. its really
nice, only problem, for a 74 year
old rug it sheds a bit. Cruising at 400
to 1200 feet should be fun.
Let me know.
1:37 pm.
Well, what did he think of the
1937 Shirvan?
6:36 pm.
Imagine you've heard the
phrase 'get a life,' well, someone
gave me the suggestion today.
Wondering if you might have info
as to how
an individual would go about
fulfilling that target.
Love Pop
