Sorry to hear about your disheveled experience of being a son. I know that as a result of that experience, you'll be a good father to your kids. It just isn't an option not to be.

The photo of me and my dad was from a road trip - the first thing we did together (and the closest thing we did together) as me being a "near adult". I remember us swapping CDs in the car, and bonding on the 6+ hour drive to a caravan park on a humid riverside tourist place.
I'd put Metallica in, and he'd complaint they were just copying deep purple. Then we'd play Deep Purple, and find common ground over Pink Floyd, then he wanted to listen to Dire Straits. After that, I don't remember.
