Watt's Up Musings of an original geek

I visited my father this weekend in Orchard Park, NY which is a small town south of Buffalo, NY. My dad is nearly 90 years old. Both my brother and I visited. The weather was wonderful, sunny and cool. The fall colors don’t happen here in Texas like they do in the northeast. I took this picture so that my sweetheart would see how nice it was out and be jealous since she didn’t go with me.

During the weekend I interviewed my Dad about his childhood history. This was instigated by a series of questions written by Kathy for a cross-stitch piece she is doing.I recorded his responses on a digital recorder. Although he found it tiring and at times struggled to remember things from so many years ago he did fine and I was happy he did it. I will transcribe what he said for us and his grandchildren.
