I’ve spent a lot of time lately trying to sort through the large boxes of stuff that I’ve accumulated in preparation for the arrival of our baby.
In some cases, that has meant throwing stuff away that I’m not sure why I had it in the first place. In other cases, it had meant giving away pounds and pounds of electronics that although useful I don’t have room for any more (for example - I had 5 VCRs).
In the process I found an old answering machine tape
I had just signed a bunch of paper work that would change the course of my life. It would take another year before I could convince my brother to come down and work with me. Almost ten years later, it turns out to have been a great decision for both of us.
I’m not positive - but I don’t think I managed to call him back. Things were busy with the starting of a new company and the new years holiday. 8 days later his joke would become something much more serious.

I remember Jan 8, 1999 as well. :|

I found an old recording of my dad several years ago too. It is a weird feeling. Oddly enough, it was mostly a good one though. Hard to believe Jan, 1999 was almost 10 years ago. Or maybe not… everything is so different.
