Post #23 - National Geographic

I was initially going to post this a couple of days ago, but the server was down.

It seems like a weird subject to post about, but do you guys remember how much Mama loved watching National Geographic videos? I remember he had a bunch of VHS tapes at the old New Westminster house about nature and wildlife. I tried watching them a couple of times, but I found everything pretty graphic, so needless to say, I never stuck around long enough to see what happened while he watched them!

I remember just this past year, something came on TV while I was in the family room with one of the boys and Mama said something like, 'Hey, hey, put it back on that for a minute!' It was some kind of documentary on bees and I thought it was so funny how Mama was pointing out things to us, but at the same time, I absolutely loved how he was so fascinated by it all. It was really neat to see that side of him. I think that's because most of the time people just thought of him as a family-oriented man whose hobbies were limited to business, golf, and basketball. I guess I can't quite explain it, but this hobby of his just made him more unique in my eyes...
