Singing, and mda

likethebeerI've been trying to sing "Tangled up in moo" to my satisfaction. I have to work out the desire to go higher than I can and stick w/the 2-3 notes that go w/the song.
I had a moment, Sunday, w/mda. Him being his geeky self. I'm trying to remember exactly which moment that was. But I know it carried on into last night, when I saw him festooned with his miner's light, just figuring out our telephone lines. We had a storm with just enough intensity on Sunday night/Saturday morning that it brought two wires into contact w/each other and shorted out (something). He was able to figure that out with his testing equipment, miner's light, and some screwdrivers. Or so I assume, b/c I only came on the tail end of the solution (I was off to Swiss Miss).
Hence, our phone lines/internet were fixed.
Anyway, between the previous night, and last night, I thought about how lucky I am to see this guy the way he really is. There are scant times when someone gets mda being purely himself, as opposed to what he thinks they want him to be. When he's totally happy figuring out something, and his head is all abuzz. And he can do so many amazing and interesting things.
Most other people only see him in bits and pieces. I get to see him all the time. I get to witness the daily life of this man. Only me. I get to see his ins and outs, and hear about all of his life. And it strikes me how lucky I am in that case.
Other times, we drive each other nuts. :) :\ :/
Anyway, I want to say that I had thought about this post before he took off for CA. I wasn't even thinking about it.
