I have a theory that all our preoccupations and flaws become compounded as we get older. For my old man, it’s his preoccupation with hot and cold temperatures. The other day while I was at his house, he felt hot and disappeared into his room to put on a pair of shorts, but he’d forgotten that he had long underwear underneath and amused himself greatly when he sat down and noticed. My question: why was he wearing the thermals in the first place on a 65 degree day?
