It was and still is heartbreaking. All you say is true to its core. Family is the most important love we have in our lives, if we're lucky, and I'd say we both come from great people. Thank you for the kind words. I like to imagine the same about my father. I do wish you the best with your job. I do recognize that my job has made me fortunate, and I'm certainly very privileged to be in the position that I'm in, but a lot of people assume that a job like mine would be a cake walk, and although I can definitely imagine worse things do be doing in life as a whole, there's still a lot of difficulties, such as managing my emotions, rising early and bringing my all, and learning new skills all the time. I never know what my next assignment is going to teach me and hold for me, but I'm always eager to learn. Ah, yes... The pet rock dream. It was strange, man. It was a completely straight conversation about zen and the art of relaxation, and it was as if I were speaking with some prolific author, yet it was a bloody pet rock with little pipe cleaner antennae. I was speaking with it as if it were some wise man, wiser than the lot of us, and it was speaking to me in a voice like Morgan Freeman's. Hey, your dream sounds fun! Very whimsical. My niece loves Vera Bradley, especially her newer designs. Mine was just nonsensical. I totally agree about reading books. I fear it's becoming a lost art with the generations. Even my niece has a Kindle eReader, and although it's nice that she has a small library on it, what about when it doesn't load? What if the books have diagrams or maps in them, or even illustrations, like what my heart's darling wishes to do? Wow, that's good. Hopefully, your children will follow in your footsteps if that's what they wish to do with their lives. You seem quite intelligent and quite the reader. I do hope things go well between me and the artist. It is my heart's wish that she feels the same towards me. Hope you enjoy the show! Yeah, definitely, denoting the Eastwoods! My personal favourite movie of Clint's is A Fistfull of Dollars, but I've seen most of them.
