    I wish him that all of the love, kindness, and compassion he has shown people, comes back to him in his time of need.

    Off the top of my head based on presentations we've seen, he's going to sound sedated, then start to choke up on words, scrunch up his face and twist around and try to play if off like he's changing topics / being informal, /1

  5. It's been years. If I start a new draft, I immediately rename it and feel a flash of irritation. But then I look around our house, at all the reminders of his intelligence, his decency and his humor and I let the irritation go. (I am still the better parallel parker)

  6. "To be fair," she'd point out later, "I had never heard you two yell at each other before." "To be fair," I said, "Your father and I are just strange enough to split up the household over this topic."

  7. At some point, a piece of paper slid under the door. Consort opened it and read it out loud. "Are you two getting a divorce?" We flung the door open and hugged our child very tightly, promising her our laughter was not at her.

  8. A free and frank exchange of views followed. Our home office is (she looks around) oh, 8' x 15'? Neither of us would leave, or give up, or stop accusing the other of having a flawed protocol when it comes to renaming a document. I am not prepared to admit how long this lasted.

  9. "The best practice," he said, "Is to rename it before you even start editing, so you won't forget to do it." "I won't," I said, tightly, "Forget to rename it." A beat. "I feel as if you have. The importance of renaming a changed draft is-" "I'M AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE."

  10. "Before you begin writing, you should rename and save it," he announced. "I will," I said absently, as I was on a roll. He continued to stand there. My typing slowed. He cleared his throat. The engineer had arrived.

  11. I was writing something. Technically, I was rewriting, going through, cleaning up verb tense agreements, making sure any name change had gone all the way through. Nit-picking. Consort wandered in. He asked, "Have you renamed and saved that version yet?" No, I had not.

  12. Sometimes, I care. Sometimes, I care not because I care, exactly, but because I simply do not want to do it his way for reasons I cannot fully explain but have something to do with my lifelong problem with authority figures. So.

  13. Fight #2: Consort, while not an engineer, has engineer tendencies. There is a protocol for how something is done. This is the correct way. "Consort, there is more than one way to do someth-" "No, this is the correct way." Luckily, again, mostly I do not care.

  14. By the time we finished the hike, we still didn't actually like each other but were too sweaty to continue the fight. For the next year, if I had to parallel park, I would let Consort out and tell him I would meet him inside, to avoid any possibility of him helping again.

  15. One of us would decide to re-litigate ten especially fraught seconds of the parking. Kid, all of twelve, said firmly, "I don't like hiking and you're actually making it worse," and trotted far ahead of us. At the Y in the hike, I went one way, Consort went the other.

  16. A free and frank exchange of views followed. Even after having parked, it continued. It was one of those where we'd both say, "WE'RE PARKED, CAN WE PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS," and the other would shout, "FINE." A second would pass.

  17. I went to parallel park. I am bad at nearly everything on earth, but was trained very well how to parallel park. This being a very new car, and a new length, I was moving slowly, carefully. I was not watching the back-up camera. Consort decided to help me by narrating.

  18. They ignore you. Five minutes later, they see you. Oh hello, people staring at us purposefully. No, we're not leaving. This patch of sidewalk is where we live now. Again and again and again. By the time I found an actual space, the mood in the car was...laden.

  19. Owing to the entrance being surrounded by apartment buildings and it being a great hike, there is never any easy parking, even blocks away. You inch along, hoping those drifting souls with the Sanskrit tattoos are aimlessly heading towards their car. You try to catch their eye.

  20. Fight #1: When she was 12, I got a new (to me) car, which had a backup camera. We decided as a family to take the car to Runyon Canyon, go for a hike. I don't know why we did this, because going to Runyon has never put my family in a good mood. It's not the hike.

  21. Ten minutes later, we're fine because I have decided to be the bigger person and he's already yelling at the printer. Kid has seen us fight, really fight, GET INTO IT, exactly twice. These were the saddest, nerdiest fights ever beheld.
