Heh, programming is very much about living in your imagination. I love reading, especially long series of novels. When the last book is finished, and that world vanishes before my eyes, it leaves an emptiness for days. Like reading a book transports me away from my dull seat on a long plane journey, it doesn't matter that you are sat in the same place every day. The point is that there is always a fresh problem, or that you can see the new thing you want to build in your minds eye, if only you could just figure out how to do it. So maybe teenage you wouldn't understand. Did he really understand why you might want to stay with the same woman for ever (or why you didn't)? Or that your dad is okay really, but he isn't there for ever? Teenagers don't get a lot of things. Teenage me was dreadful. If I don't impress him, I'm probably doing okay.
