A Sense of Doubt blog post #4133 - Letter to Dad #39 - Hey Mom Reprint of #702 from 2017 - My Love of Music

Hey Big Guy, I am still on blog vacation in low power mode, which means minimal new content, reprints (so far but maybe shares or THAT ONE THING)  and not even keeping to a daily schedule as I type these words on Monday 6/15 and sending them back in time.

It's been a pretty good week. I have a worry about Satchel's cough, but generally, the puppies are healthy and fine. We have some 90 degree days, so I have been walking them early, before it gets hot.

I turned in my field experience application, which is a huge stress relief.

I am attending to selfcare, getting a lot of reading done, some writing. Not as much around the house because of the heat but that will change later this week. Also not doing as much cooking but that will also change.

As for this reprint, great picture of me taken by you.

I just don't get how some people live without listening to music much or at all or really investing in what they here.

These musical selections below were for Mom, and now they are for both of you.

That's all.

I really miss talking to you, and to Mom.

I will post again next week.

Love,

christopher

LOW POWER MODE: I sometimes put the blog in what I call LOW POWER MODE. If you see this note, the blog is operating like a sleeping computer, maintaining static memory, but making no new computations. If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal. Thanks for reading.

BLOG VACATION #1 - 2026 - Taking a blog vacation for a couple of weeks, until at least June 26th, 2026. Mostly reprints. A few simple shares (not that simple shares are out of the norm) and THAT ONE THING. Need time for other things.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #702 - My Love of Music - Throwback Thursday - photo series one #24

Me - 2 yrs and 11 months - December 1964

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #702 - My Love of Music - Throwback Thursday - photo series one #24

Hi Mom,

So I am working on original content, but this week has been nuts.

This is a great picture of me, IMHO.

Isn't the lighting nice?

Though I dabbled with learning an instrument, I never really became a musician, but I did develop a great love for music.

So on this Throwback Thursday, when I share this photo, from the old photo album that I have dubbed "photo series one," I am also sharing a song.


When I thought about it, the first song that came to mind was Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," for obvious reasons, Mom.

Here's an unplugged version without Roger Waters on vocals, the original with Waters on vocals, and then the whole album (vinyl!!).

More original content soon, I promise.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.

- Days ago: MOM = 3997 days ago & DAD = 651 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
