Tuesday, 5 December 06 :: dear dad.

its your birthday. i know. i should call you. i should call you and tell you on the phone how much i love you. that i'm proud of you, that i love the fact that you, out of all the dads in the whole world, ended up as mine. good thing, cause we look alike. that would have been rather odd if you weren't my dad, and then to run into you -- "i look a lot like that dad, was there a screw up somewhere?" and we act a lot a like. lets face it dad, we're both rather neurotic, sometimes the same way, other times in vastly different ways, but neuroses is in our genes. how do i know? i've met your dad. :)

i hope its warm and sunny in virginia today dad. i hope you got to take your boat out on to the new. i hope you got to play, and enjoy being professor emeritus, kathy's husband, zack's dad, benny's grandfather, and most of all, just you.

love love love,
me.
your daughter.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
