Weekly parent: fatter but wiser

Musings on aging, responsibility and parenting using a recent high school band reunion (and Kurt Vonnegut) as jumping off points:

Not that I want to talk too much about the ravages of aging, but some obvious differences between us at 18 and us at 45 include more adipose tissue and less hair. And those 25,000 beers we’ve drunk over the past 30 years? Some of them stuck around to pad our middles — making us more huggable, right?
