i just arrived from spending some time with my dad.
he came to visit. he comes like once a year or maybe less.
he lives in miami. i showed him sushibot.

he had already seen him but he was confused, kept misunderstanding everything i said, had to explain to him how PatchTogether works.
my aunt was also confused, so when i explained something to my dad, she would ask some crazy question about some other thing i had explained 5 minutes before.

i think they really didn't get it but they seemed very enthusiastic and liked the "little toy" and suggested about 3 times that i offer the "toy" as a promotional product to a Sushi restaurant that she saw the other day while driving around town.

i told her: PatchTogether requieres a one-year exclusive contract and i think that if a sushi place would ever be interested in giving out toys as promotion, they would give out cheap plasticky toys like the ones at McDonald's.

so she then suggested that i sell Sushibots as "decorations" to this store.

i told her once again who these "toys" were intended for (well, yes, they are a kind of toys, though not "playable" toys, even though you could play with them if you chose to... you can play with whatever you want, if you're a consenting adult).

then she gave me some homemade ice cream.
then my dad showed me a photo of him and me in a swimming pool, me in his arms.

he said: that was in the camp (oil camp, where he worked). do you remember?

i said: yeah i remember. i was what? 9 months old?

he laughed.
i laughed.

tiny short moment but it was good.
tomorrow he goes back to miami.
he showed me the book he wrote (he is a pastor) and i criticized the design, but also told him it could have been much worse.

i told him: next time, bring me a book.
he said: i love you, son.
i said: ditto.
