I remember once overhearing my dad say to my mom that he thought my future might be in sound and music. It was based on something I'd said about Bach... that his music sounds like an automaton wrote it, only not, because it's so obviously human. This was to be fair based on the fact one of the great strategy game designers, Sid Meier, creator of Civilization and also Pirates! and also Alpha Centauri and others, had written an engine to synthesize new pieces of Bach-like music. But my comment was years later and also very much my own feeling in the moment, and what I overheard my dad saying was not based on just the one moment. It was based on knowing me my whole life.
