Listening to Bach
I spent $15 for 10 random classical music vinyls. In the collection was a set of Brandenburg Concertos. So Ben and I are listening to Bach. I’ve explained harpsichords and violins to him. He doesn’t want to miss a thing when I play a record. Overall it’s already been worth what I paid.

Cassettes from the 80s
I got a package of cassettes today. It feels strange to be paying the same prices as I did back then. A person like me could buy entire lots of cassette tapes and vinyl records for a few dollars at a garage sale a decade ago. Now they are commodities again. It’s good music. Ben…

Bedtime Requests
Ben knows I won’t give him pills and light off before 9pm. He’s been watching the clock to get his meds as soon as I’m willing to give them to him. He gets up early, and if he gets pills too early then he gets up too early. Alex has been noticing the pattern. Ben…

Together
95% of the time if I ask Ben if he wants to watch a movie he will sing his little “nooo…” I usually leave him alone if he does. Sometimes on the other hand I turn on one of his movies for me with the near certainty that he will watch it with me. He…

Record Player
Yesterday my mother gifted me a compact record player. I already had a few vinyl records to play on it. I have successfully listened to two of those records and am on my third. Glen Campbell this time. The last two were both Anne Murray. Ben slept on the couch through the first album. Ben…

Keep the Cat in the House
Ben doesn’t like it when the cats are outside. It’s a cold rainy day to at least today I am inclined to agree with him. The problem is that he doesn’t have a good idea of whether Ether is in or out. He opens the door to check and Ether runs out. Then the cat…
