…in which I talk about fatherhood and responsibilities and wasting time and all that crap.
So Father’s Day was this past Sunday, my first. Heather, sweetest thing, got me a bonsai tree which I’ve been wanting for a long time. Now that I have it, though, I’m concerned about its health and well being. I’ve never been a very green thumb kind of person and it turns out that bonsai require a lot of attention. I certainly hope I don’t kill it.
Heather suggested that it come live with me at work for two reasons. For one, I spend more waking hours at work than I do at home. This is a very saddening fact of life, but it seems to be a fact for more people than not. Secondly, it will get a lot more light up here than it will at home, and bonsai need a lot of light for their frail little structures.
Edit (6-25-08): I had started this post and then completely forgotten about it, so I’ll just post it and try to start a new one today or tomorrow. I really need to get back on schedule.
