Valentines Day 2015 : I'm marking this date!

Using saved up allowance, my daughter bought her first LP!

"How do I hold it Dad?"

Priceless!!!!!!!

Thanks guys! The last few months we've been hanging out at table after supper playing the "have you heard this song?" game with our phones. The girl has taste. I was surprised that while I hardly play Alternative in their presence she was dropping some of my favorite bands on me like Snow Patrol and Angels and Airwaves. Stuff not wha I would have expected from a 15 year old.

Her first LP is Sam Smith's album. When we left later in the day I opened the glove compartment of my car and we had a good laugh. I had the jewel case of the same album in there. She BEAT me to the LP! LOL! Actually I wasn't thinking of buying the vinyl at all but who cares right?

The thing I love is that her taste in music is very eclectic. Go girl! Maybe I won't give you an Air Force table but I've got a nice Rega P5 ready to go. Maybe I'll throw in the optional power supply just so Daddy's girl doesn't have to go removing platters and fiddling with pulleys. I feel so lucky. One daughter is into music and yesterday I played Golf with my 13 year old daughter who missed only one fairway. Last night I got a shock when I saw my 7 year old boy playing Sudoku like it was nothing. WTF!

As for my wife, I thank my lucky stars everyday. How many would even allow their husbands to get so deep into a hobby like ours? One that said "cool!" just last week upon hearing of my decision to carry yet another line from a country that had its currency shoot up 20% overnight.

Life is good!
