"Hi Beth going to rain today"

--- Alright Dad! Not only did he spell my name

correctly, he's taking a neutral approach to today's

texts and is discussing the weather.

"Rained here. How are you today?

I still haven't seen any pictures from your phone

they just show up like black blobs."

-- Selfishly, I really want him to figure out the camera. I can only imagine

the picture gold that he would send.

"Beth tell me   if u get this

im in a bus

comming from  the mall"

--- I have so many thoughts. I wonder if my Dad

is amazed that he can be in a vehicle but yet, this

magic phone still works. I wonder if the other people on

the bus are as amazed at my Dad's ability to text as I am.

I wonder if my reply text is going to blow his mind.

"Got it. Cool huh? What did you

get at the mall?"

--- I know why my Dad went to the mall. It's

 the only thing he buys outside of Andy Capp Hot Fries.

"What did u get today?"

--- My Dad's collection of DVDs has a long and storied history.

All I can say is that his choices are always interesting, always random, and,

if you ask for '30 Rock Season 3' for Christmas, you will end up

with 'Paul McCartney : Live from Moscow'.
