I've been working at my computer this evening, listing to new music. I so often come across songs that I wish my dad was around to enjoy. In retrospect, both my parents were extremely progressive in their music tastes (my mom still is), and never shunned the music I listened to growing up. By the end of his life, my dad was coming to me for recommendations.

Naturally, thinking about this makes me miss him all the more as the holidays approach. But mostly, I'm just enjoying imagining how he might react to the stuff I'm listening to these days were he here.
