Where would one go to buy a mini-tape recorder. Like if I wanted to record myself interviewing someone? The school always provides them so I've never had to find my own?

Which leads me to my next question. THEA, I know you work weekends, but what are the hours like? I need to come down sometime in the next few weeks to interview you about my ethnography project. Basically I need your point of view of what was going on in my/our life at the time King died, Juri and I broke up, and I got sick...and also some help with the details. Some of it is really, really fuzzy. I think I just blocked some of it out or something? For instance, I remember getting the email and I THINK you were in the kitchen with me but I can't remember your reaction or what I did after freaking out. Anyway, I'll have to do the same with Meg, eventually, but that I can do over the phone or something. 

I'm supposed to be interviewing the people involved but, really, that's just you and Meg. Cause of the being six billion miles away from home thing.

I'm pretty sure Walmart has them. Couldn't tell you where, though. Office supplies maybe?

I could probably skive off a few hours on a weekend soon b/c now there are two peoples in the office.

Meanwhile, argh! I must be interviewed? Schmeh.

Also, weren't we gonna visit Meggers for a ballgame in sept or something?

It won't be like, a formal type interview. More like you talking about what you observed, us trying to hash out details, and probably some about your own experience that year.

sounds good. i'm in, but i have a horrible memory, just to warn you.

and baseball games? ha. not if you guys are bloody rich. tickets are around $100 at the mo. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. SO FOR THREE TICKETS, one of you could almost fly to england.

i now measure expenses by "flights to england."

however, that is not to say that you shouldn't come, because you should. we could do some real things, like visit the botanical gardens and go downtown for once!

Yeah, definately.

You'll need to let us know when would be a good weekend for you, cause I know you're busy trying to get everything sorted before going back.

I think I probably will.

I'm focusing on the fact that for me, the grieving process got all fucked up because I found out through an email, couldn't talk to anyone about it for like, days after it happened, and then was all alone and shit.

I'm also going to focus on the fact that I think part of what has made it hard is that he in a way represents a parent and part of this stability in my life that has never been shaken, so while I FELT like I had done this big, brave thing by moving abroad, actually I was able to do that because I knew I had this support system, that then began to be shaken.

so yeah, I think I'll talk to you about your own feelings about him, and what the grief process has been like. And probably about your own fears about mom and dad dying.
