I'm thinkin' about what I'm gonna think about

I had called my dear father every day for almost a full 10 years. There were a few gaps here and there over the decade but rarely. We would talk about anything, everything or even perhaps nothing at all while enjoying a shot of tequila. We lived 500 miles apart but I always felt as if we were in the same room. It was a lovely ritual. During our tenth year of conversation on one of our daily calls once again I ask my standard question,

"Hi Dad what are you doing?" His days were spent reading for the most part and not as active any more.
He slowly replied, "Just thinkin'
Jumping at the conversation opener I asked, "So what are you thinking about"
"I'm thinkin' about what I'm gonna think about."

Of course he was.
A brilliant man, thoughtful, always curious, always engaged to the very last minute of his life.
At 93 years old my Dad made perfect sense.

This Web site and Blog will evolve with that philosophy in mind. For you, Dad.
