dad and i started putting up a gazebo he bought
off wayfair. it looks nice, but the roof is very difficult to assemble. i got a
little frustrated, then it started raining, so we decided to put it off until
tomorrow. i ended up taking a nap with bagel afterwards. when i woke up, nobody
was home. they went to pick up mom’s friend who is visiting from cambodia. they
haven’t seen each other since before mom and dad’s marriage. that was almost 40
years ago. i imagine they came into contact with technology and social media.
that’s actually quite amazing now that i wrote it out. the power of connection
through platform is a convenience i take for granted. there’s people i haven’t
seen in 10+ years, but i can go on facebook and catch myself up on their lives.
it can be creepy or it can be useful, i guess it’s all in how you take it. i
wonder if anybody wonders what i’m up to.
maybe i should post more.
