Well, I did spend quite a bit of time with my father in my

than a father spending time with a son that age, any way shape
or form that he can manage it.


Any way, shape or form that he can manage it ? Jon, you're just
so *goddamn* wholesome and treacly it makes my teeth hurt.

I cannot *ever* imagine my dad in birkenstocks, bell bottoms and
tie dye, smokin' dope, droppin' acid and dancin' to the Grateful
Dead just to spend time with my 19 year old self. Would have been
out of character for him and *appalling* to me.


Yeah, but maybe the world would have been a better place. ;-)
