family interactions

My father called last night, to ask me if I would like to go to a trade show with him, today - small businesses from Maine and New Hampshire showing off their wares.  ( father - daughter interactions; gotta love 'em. )

( a knock on the head changes her mind )

( They can call it a problem all they want now that I'm no longer in school. )

( ghost stories )

I just report it. :)

addendum to the Sorting Hat test from yesterday

Out of curiosity I went through it again, and I think I gave it all the same answers, but I changed the one answer that asks you which house you want to be in - I told it I wanted to be a Slytherin.  This changed my score radically: I scored 32% Slytherin, 36% Ravenclaw, 32% Gryffindor, and 32% Hufflepuff, and it called me a Squib.  So, the house you want to be in affects your score highly.

after the ghost stories

After telling me the story about his wife's father, Dad continued with: "I got a literature book, recently.  It's just chock full of poetry and stuff, and there's this one that starts out, 'I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night...'"

"I've heard that one!" I said.

"Well for goodness sake don't recite it for me!  It'll make me cry!"

This morning I was delighted to find a Wikipedia entry on Joe Hill.

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
