Jack: Ten Years

Dear Jack,

Clearly this should be a 10.5-year post because that’s when I am actually writing it, but life got in the way this year. And because I didn’t want to end this yearly tradition on an odd number, I figured I better get a 10-year post up so we can end with a nice, round decade of posts. Back-dating is a beautiful thing.

I couldn’t let this momentous occasion pass without comment

Maybe a 3.5 but I rounded down. I felt for this author. Living with a mother like that must have been exhausting. But I think this could have been a long magazine piece rather than a book. I actually liked the parts about her husband much more.
