I just got off the phone with my ex's boyfriend, arranging to have my eldest's computer brought over when they drop the boys off today. It's an older system, can't play Age of Empires III on it, so I'm going to trade them for the newer one he has here, then work on rebuilding it in my own home rather than having to go over there once in awhile.
He mentioned that they had had a good trip to Swift Current to see my ex's other sister (not the one from Saskatoon mentioned heretofore), and one other item. They had picked up a DVD system for van, which the boys watched on the way back.
This triggered an interesting memory for me.
Back in 1989 I left the band Tazmania, and when I next saw them perform with a replacement bass player, they included the song Innocence, by Harlequin. Although I enjoyed the song briefly when it first came out, I was already quick sick of it by '89, so as second in command of the band I had held out against playing it. So, first thing that happens after I leave? They start playing it.
A long time I decided that my boys' vacations would be similar to my own growing up: an opportunity to see the world as you drive through. As a result, as second in command of the marriage, I had held out against buying a DVD player for the van. So, first things that happens after I leave? Somebody buys a player, brings a DVD, and they start playing it.
