No matter how many times I tell my father that I will not listen his voicemails he still does it. Hi crackhappy. This is your dad. It's ummm let's see. Friday the 20th at about.... 10:15 am. I'm here at the hardware store and I there is this tool I was looking at that I wondered you could help me get a cheaper price on. This tool is just like my dad used to use in 1954, with my uncle hap. Hap was a sailor in the merchant Marines in world war I, and the name of his boat was... Hold on a second I'll get it. Oh right, it was the Jenny Marie. this is but a small sample of the voicemails he leaves

Do you ever listen to the end to see if he tied an onion to his belt? It would be hilarious if he was doing a bit from The Simpsons

That's a good point. I have a few videos I've taken of us sitting and chatting by the pool in Bali, camping in the Sierra Nevada, christmas in St. Croix, and thanksgiving at my grandma's house, but I think you're right, I should save some of that super mundane stuff too.
