Some parents seem to like treating their adult children to fine wines, delicious food and movies. Of course every family enjoys different pastimes, but I think that parents find solace and comfort in seeing their progeny indulge in the same pleasures with the same zest -- it reaffirms our feeling of unity as a family. And it often leads to some bickering which is remembered with humor the next day.
My mom and stepdad are in town, and they have been taking me out for the best of times. I have been under the influence of wine by no later than 5:30 for the last three days, and I think that this is a civilized custom that should be practiced more.
We discuss evolution, Gaza, knitting, entertainment...it's refreshing, and I feel so lucky that we find ourselves aligned on many of these issues.
Olbermann on now.
