Some closets are still occupied.
On the drive home from the airport.
Mom: What's down that street?
Me: Oh thats where all the gay bars are! Its really close to where we live so when its not so hot Brad and I just walk to them, its great when we're drunk and we don't have to drive. Pretty much thats where we usually go out.
Mom: Oh it looks like a nice area and its so close to Eatzi's, very nice!
Later that evening sitting in my living room while playing with new binaural microphones for my iRiver.
Mom: What do you use that for?
Me: Nothing. Its nothing. Its just a digital recorder that I have for fun. Its stupid. Its nothing. (I hope she doesn't find my my condensor microphone).

LOL.....very smart of you....some doors ya don't want to open....especially if you've read the horrors of other bloggers....when family found their blogs/podcasts.
Well knowing my mom the reverse would probably happen. She's be so thrilled that I'm writing and she'd tell all of her friends, coworkers, and our family to go see it and listen to my podcast. Thats far more emarassing and more difficult to deal with in my mind :) Maybe I'll make her some macaroni art to take home to put on the frige as an offering.
I know where you keep your condenser mic, so I don't think you need to worry about her finding it - LOL
Have fun - can't wait for the stories

Enjoy your time with Mom!
There is something unsettling about a guy who tells his mother EVERYTHING. I couldn't trust someone who didn't keep at least one small secret from her.
I don't get it. I'm a dill. I just don't. :P
Adam, I think there is something very important about having one's own space. Having a journal of sorts is the impression that I get from a great deal of your blog. I value my blog not being known by my family because personally, I would put things in a differnt way. What I'm saying is that it changes the nature of the space, and if that's what you want, go for it.
Oh feel my pain!!!
