For this assignment we were required to remember a time at the dinner table and act like every member of the event at the time.  For mine I did it for the last Thanksgiving I had with my family closest friend that was pretty much family, Mr Patton.  He passed away 2 years ago on June 5th.  I do not call many people in the world with Mr. or Mrs. usually only teachers and people I greatly respected and Mr Patton was one of the few people in the world that I respected that much. He was a retired marine that knew my father most of his adult life and pretty much followed him around the world. He was always funny and had a smile on his face.  He was one of the smartest people I ever known and even when he was being funny he mostly had something to say that was very worldly.  This is not one of those times but this interaction between my brothers and him at the end of Thanksgiving dinner will stay with me for life.

For this assignment I used Audacity to record the voices in one take.

For another one of my audio assignments I chose the Family table. This post included a dinner table conversation of your family in which you acted out every part. Although mine is fictional I think it is pretty accurate. It includes my sister Amanda, my two brothers- Tom and Matt, and my parents (me too).  In a manner of speaking, it also includes one of our cats too. His name is Blackjack and almost every time we eat dinner he is close by watching, waiting, or even trying to get some for himself.

In order to do this post I recorded myself talking on GarageBand. Before that I wrote out a quick couple lines- just some ideas, but it actually wasn’t as hard as I expected. I guess I do have a lot of experience of these instances!
