New Roommate

I had a nice Father's Day gift this past weekend...my son will room with me in LA for the summer. Jeff flew down on Saturday, and will intern at the company I work for in the accounting department helping them install Quick Books for inventory tracking. I can't believe what a big difference it makes having family here in LA with me. I didn't think about it too much when I was here alone.

Alone, I looked forward to calling the family in the evenings...with Jeff here I forget to call home.

Alone, I hated cooking for myself...with Jeff here I find myself wanting to cook for him.

Alone, I would never go to the movies...with Jeff here I am planning what movies I can finally go see!

Pretty pitiful, right? After 5 months of living on my own here in La-La Land, I am full of contemplating my navel, etc. I can honestly say what I am feeling, and am happy to do it.

Our relationship is changing, you all have read about how in past entries. We are now conversing more like adults (I can't say friends yet) than father and son. He hasn't had too much time to get used to it, but I think he will. He is more open about his life, things that happen (relationships), and what he worries about. I think working in the same office will take some getting used to, but I think I can help him get some real experience.

I have high hopes that we will be good friends by the end of the summer. That is my goal.

Chow!
