My Father called me tonight to tell me about a newscaster that died. At first I thought it was because this man was so much younger then him and he was feeling his mortality, but it quickly changed and made me realize what he was talking about:
In this country (The USA) we identify our daily habits, be it a TV show, news report, or web site, and once it's gone, it leaves a hole in your' normal routine.
It really got to me tonight (the fact that he called me) because when my My Grandfather died (an Irish immigrant, and thorough fuck face) my father didn't call me... when Tim Russert, a TV Host dies... he calls all upset... ouch.
