Hey Dan

I called Dad about spending some time with him rebuilding a car this summer. The call went mostly as I thought it would. At first I got the impression he thought I needed a car and was asking him to build me one. Not that at some points in my life that would be the best guess. He asked if I wanted something to drive everyday or once in awhile.

Getting across the idea of what I wanted to do was easier then I had thought. As I tried explaining it and I felt I was doing a poor job. Then Dad said “We have not spent much time with each other since you have been a man.”

Dad sounded excited about rebuilding a car, he started suggesting cars. The first one was an old station wagon he was very excited about. You could tell he hard had his eye on it. We talked about it for a while.

He asked what kind of car I hard in mind. I had not really thought about it. I told him I was more the 60’s or 70’s muscle or sports car type of person. He said two months was not much time to rebuild a car so we would need one that was in some stage of complete. A friend of his has a ’68 Camaro that might fit the bill.

We talked about how much money we could spend. When I would want to start and the other details he would need to know to talk to Zara about. I said I would call him back on Sunday as I am going to be out of town for the 4th.

After I hung up with Dad, Cache and I talked about how I felt and the options. She is very supportive. This is one of my dreams and she is big on following dreams. I am still not sure if I want to leap. Taking two months to and a great deal of money to fallow a dream is not how I have lived my life. I have lived an adventuresome live, but most of the time it has been the easy path.

Making a movie about my relationship with my Father and a car is not going to be the easy path…
