The Apple Doesn’t Fall Too Far From the Tree…

Apple“Remember when your mother got fixated on photography?” dad asked me this morning. “She went out and bought a $800 Canon camera and I about shit in my pants.”

I chuckled and said I remember that clearly. I was about 12 years old.

“She got hooked on architectural photography and there are several scrapbooks of hundreds of photos she took in your library,” I told my father.

“You are on a similar kick with this bicycling thing you have going on,” my father then told me.

“I could have far worse fixations like beer or pornography,” I replied in my defense.

“True,” dad said. “Just don’t get carried too far away. For years there, it was computers and computer parts. What happened to that?”

“I quit computer gaming and no longer needed the latest and the best,” I replied. “You need a very powerful computer to play the latest computer games.”

“Well, I am going to get you that mountain bike next month,” he told me. “Maybe that will placate you somewhat.”

I think everyone obsesses about something. Eventually you focus on something else.
