My dad...after 14 years!

So my dad calls me a week ago, after no communication for 14 years. I was actually happy to hear from him & like I have said in the past (yet pretty recently), if my father showed up at my door today, I would still welcome him with open arms. We chatted a bit, found out that he had no idea that he has twin, 8 year old grandsons & he seemed a bit excited about that, talking about taking them fishing, etc. Well, we will see…he's obviously always been a flaky one. So, he tells me that he's going to sell a bunch of his crap & move up this way in April, after living in Mexico for over 20 years. Wow! That would be neat, but yet I am not sure how things will play out. I only saw my father a half dozen times when I was 6ish, then ran into him at a 4th of July party when I was 13, & then met him again (& my 13 year old brother) & went camping & to the ocean when I was 17 (1994). So if this really happens, it will really change my life. I have never truly had a father figure in my life except for my step father for 5 years & then my grandfather. I'm almost scared, yet excited, especially for my kids to see my father. We will see if this really happens this spring...

The life guide...

So Costco isn't just a place to shop, it's a complete lifestyle. I found this Costco 2008 Household Almanac online, and crap! this thing is like the bible for living in today's time (great for the elder). It's got everything from how to choose the best electronics, what you can do with them, organizing, cleaning, safety and remodeling in your home, to your health. Very interesting stuff & I am SURE you will find something of interest...
