+Over the last couple of days, I've been in a bit of a fog. It could be the abnormal weather patterns sweeping through the region with a couple of inches of ice last weekend and a half foot of snow predicted today [^1]. Needless to say, I've had some extra time on my hands indoors and I've also been trying to make sense of our political theatre with some daily doom-scrolling.

Let me start by saying that the seminal moment in this essay happened when I was very young. Although I've retold this antidote more times than I can recall, I can't specify exactly how old I was at the time. I think I was eight or nine years old and I was riding in the car on the way to school listening to my dad on the radio. Dad did a morning radio show for the majority of my life - mostly music and comedy. This particular morning, just as we were pulling into the drop-off line at our school, he said "my family and I had a great dinner last night at wherever" ( I don't remember the name of the restaurant ). The thing is - we didn't have dinner last night at 'wherever'. I turned to looked at my mom with what I'm sure was an obvious reaction on my face. She just said "ask you dad when you get home".
