Back when I was a lad, my grandfather would listen to ballgames on the radio. Now I watch play by play updates on Yahoo Sports. Improvement? No, probably not. But it's okay.

I loved motels, still do. The plastic wrapped glasses, sanitized for your protection. The mystery of them--who'd slept in this bed before me? Criminals on the lam, new lovers? My dad taught me to swim in motel pools. Our dysfunctional family actually got along.

How do we return to any semblance of normal after all this is said and done?
