This week I ask dad what he wants everyone to take away from his story. We also drift down a stream of consciousness for a bit as we dig up some last minute memories while we wrap up. Thank you all for joining me as I helped me dad tell his story. See you all on the next show.

Welcome back, sorry for the delay but we had some scheduling issues and I want to give my hard working producer a weekend off. This week we explore my dad's "stabilization period" where he secures his career and some real estate, while we both start tripping over our timeline continuity, which might still not be 100% I also take a moment to probe his thoughts about a persistent through line of his financial perspective on his memories. 

This week we talk to my dad about his fast paced contract work and years as a flight mechanic. Jumping from London to the Bahamas, and almost getting shot by Jamaican airport security.  We also discuss his efforts to try and get steady work near home in North Carolina in the post 9/11 airline industry. 

Just a quick state of the podcast update 

This week James teaches adolescent Rob about adult venues, starts a food fight and talks himself into a job as an aircraft mechanic.

This week James recounts his first marriage and how it felt to be a father. 

This week on Stories About My Dad James recounts his time living on a farm, a Cheech & Chong moment and a chance encounter on the road.

Today James steals 15+ cars, siphons gas from city utilities trucks and takes a wrong turn.

Welcome to the trailer for my podcast. My name is Rob and I will be talking with my dad James about his life stories and journey from poor choices left and right to a slightly decent human.
