Expecting Rain - Wishing for Snow

As mentioned early on in this blog I love and adore my father... Most people do, I know this, but he did raise me as a single father in the 80's and 90's and that is unusual. He is very tech savvy especially given the era in which he grew up. I mentioned the blog a while back and he showed no interest so I let it go, his biggest question was why? I tired trying to explain the why's of the blog and weeks have passed. The other night I asked him why he hasn't asked about my blog and he says "I know your biography I don't need to read it". This just makes me laugh, so I tell him it's a blog which I spell and he asks what that is. I explain it and finally sent him the link on Wed. I called him and told him I had sent the link and all he says ok, I ask are you going to read it and he tells not tonight, I shut the computer down for the day.  Late yesterday I get an email that states "I have read your blog". I am excited by this but wonder what he thinks, its very unusual for him to send me a reply email, typically I only get emails that contain information or forwards. We don’t need to email as we talk several times a day most days. Last night when we are chatting I ask him what he thinks of the blog and he says its ok, I know all that stuff. I am dying here you, have must realize this I am looking for more than that from him, I thought he would find it a little funny a little cool, he may have, he also may never say those things. He was however very interested in ND's drive in the snow, great lets talk about the snow. We discuss how much snow she was gifted and that she was expecting more today, which she has informed me has arrived and she will be blogging about later. My father would also like for her to keep all of the snow as he does not long for it like I do, and as he lives in south FL its highly unlikely he will get any. I asked him how far back he read and he only read the first page, hopefully he will go back and read more, though I think he may actually never return.... Dad if you are reading this, read on and I love you!
He may kill me for positing this picture!
