My parents celebrated their 49th this week. They did a nice dinner a few days before, but they shared a cheap pizza on the actually anniversary, just like they did on their wedding night. Both had work the next day.

Congratulations to your parents. Bickering about the Cardinals with their son and dogs seems like an ideal outcome for 54 years of challenging, rewarding work.

This is how it should be. You’re very fortunate.

And The New Yorker story is infuriating.

Agreed on both counts.

Congratulations to your parents Will, that is amazing!

The New Yorker article was indeed infuriating, but terrifying as well.

So well written, as usual. You are a lucky man, Will, to have your loving parents so close to you. Enjoy every minute with them!

Lloyd was a great read - by far your best book!

Will, congrats to your 'rents. Just a small note, next time you send a link to The New Yorker, make sure it's unlocked. Good advice to stay inside, especially here in Michigan for the next week.
