I coughed today, and heard an echo of my father.

I clear my throat in the exact same way. I had no idea until this morning.

Comforting, and sort of disconcerting at the same time. My brother and I have similar voice patterns, but not similar voices. genetic? learned? a little of both, I think.

reread robinson crusoe last night... I never noticed a specific error before... he strips down naked, swims to the ship for supplies, and then puts the supplies in his pockets... what is he, a marsupial?

good deed of the day - gave my all day bus pass to a guy as I got home.. saved him $2.50.

bought cat food, and seeds to plant in the garden area under my south and eastwindows.... sweet alyssum, and moonflowers. I may crossplant some catgrass out there too, for Newt's friendly visitor.

Well, off to the showers, and a book to read in my NEW bed.gnite, dear journal.

I haven' read that in a while. Maybe he stripped down, but brought his clothes with him anyway?

That is very cool that you echoed your Dad. I love it that I can see my Dad's mannerisms in my nephews.

That's funny about Robinson Crusoe! Cool coincidence, too--I had decided to take that and Treasure Island with me to read at the beach next week : ). I have so many cherished books that I grew up with that I re-read every few years. It's cool you re-read that. I think you are neato, Scotto...but you already knew that ; )

thank you... I think you're spiffy, too.

let me know if you come to the same conclusion I did, regarding crusoe... I hadn't read it since my freshman year of high school, I think.

I like to cycle through classics every once in a while... a boon of moving, is that all the books that were stored have a chance to rise to the surface more easily. (and now, I have loads more shelves, so I can peek at most of 'em!)

It's kind of scary to me that I can remember my dad quite vividly when he was my age now. (I was 11 at the time.)

I too have found my father in my cough and clearing my throat... it's uncanny how similar...

I am currently reading some of Meriwether Lewis's writings and he made a reference to Robinson C. I didn't realize it had been written so long ago... makes me want to read it again... thanks for the zing that piqued my curiosity...

Peace

it's a comforting feeling, isn't it, knowing that there's a bit of the past in something unconscious you do?

quite welcome! It's alwaysa pleasure to have you pop in!
