Had a nice afternoon with S13 yesterday. Took him on a shopping spree to spend the money he got for his middle school "graduation." (I had to help him out with a little bit extra to get everything he wanted).

Although he is young man of today, he shares with me a love for old school, physical entertainment media. He especially likes record albums and books (the paper kind).

Of course, he streams media like most today, but he gets satisfaction from putting on an actual LP record or reading a physical book rather than an ebook. His favorite genre in both books and movies is horror.

Spent a little time last night working on separating and sorting my own huge library of stuff in the basement "man cave." The room this is in will be renovated at some point. Will be throwing some stuff out and giving some away. Perhaps I'll be around to see that renovation happen, but at this point, I'm framing this as preparation for an eventual move out. I put on some music while doing it (the first music I've played outside of my car in weeks). Found it satisfying.
