... after the Yeag went out on a limb yesterday and posted that thing in the general lounge, I was feeling all warm and fuzzy and like it was time to get a bunch of shit off my chest.

Let me start by saying, sweetie, you're an inspiration to me.

So last night I had dinner with my dad.
I ADORE my father. He's a great guy.

I posted a long time ago about how he stumbled across my ez cloner -FULL - last time he was in town visiting. And of course I laughed it off, shut the closet door, changed the subject, and suggested that we go have a look at some stupid problem with some shit in my basement, whatever, I forget.

Well, I've been really worried about breaking the good news about me and Yeag to my dad... I was dreading the conversation...
"so how did you guys meet?"
"ummmm ... on a gardening website.... yeeeeeah... that's it...."
But of course that's a bit fucked up; I mean, seriously, I already told my old boss about my grow ( http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-loun...l-dilemma.html ), I should DEFINITELY not be lying to my dad!!!

So I basically spent 2 hours filling him in on about 4 years' worth of news... starting with an abusive relationship I hid from my family... to the REAL reason I kicked Jeff out... to my growing.

I feel like a million bucks this morning.

We had the most intersting talk about cannabis- about the plant, the breeding, the history of indoor cultivation, my personal reasons for growing, the demise of my operation due to the big breakup, the current political mood in our state, efforts to legalize, the evil pharmaceuticals industry, his own fight with depression (which I had been unaware of), and both of our distaste for mainstream drug treatments for physiological and emotional illnesses.

As it turns out we connected on a level that I think has been missing for much of my life... my parents were divorced when I was very young and there has always been a distance between us. It just got a LOT smaller.

So I guess the moral of this story is that openness feels good- clean, really. (And now I won't have to be all weird when I ask him to help me install a solar array on my roof, lol! )
