Cool. I've kept it on my DVR for a year so I wouldn't have to wait for Xmas eve to watch it this year. I'm targeting around 12/10 for my ceremonial watching this year.

Tivoli would be a cool old school experience though.

I've got it on VHS. My player broke, though.

I thought he was in Arizona with his dad Rogue, but I could be wrong.

I guess obviously you need your dad more when you are younger. But when you get to my age it sure seems like I could use him more productively a lot longer now.

It's funny how much of a shock that is when it hits you at 30-35 years old.

I had to replace an alternator on my then Altima. Figured it would be simple enough, fan belt issues aside. Unfortunately, the cheap knock off brand replacement part had a 1/2" raised metal ring(?) on the area it was to be bolted on & then wouldn't fit. I'm pissed, getting ready to head back to the auto shop & pay big bucks for the Nissan brand replacement until my dad showed me the wonders of the Saw-Zall.

I've tried to soak up as much as I could from him (again) since then.

No reason to be sorry. It gets worse before it gets better.

My Mother died nearly a year ago. I promise you this: the pain will get better, and you will eventually enter a mindset where you can have wonderful memories of your father without experiencing crippling grief.
