It's hard for me because Chris is unhappy, and discontent, and complains a lot. Did you ever see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? If you did, do you remember Marvin the Robot? He is so much like Chris that even Chris thinks it resembles him. Some lines by Marvin that stick out in my mind: "Life. Loath it or ignore it, you can't enjoy it." "I'll do it, but I know I won't like it." "I have a brain the size of a planet, and you expect me to do that?" I don't think I have ever heard Chris come home and tell me about something nice or funny that happened at work, nor remark on the sky, nor exclaim over a flower, or the moon, or a cloud, or anything like that. Always with the mordant, biting irony and sarcasm. It gets old after a while.

Ben is so much nicer than I am. He didn't get into Thomas Jefferson, the advanced school, his grades weren't good enough, so he is willing to go to Paul VI, a Catholic school. I have to admit we want to get him away from drugs and gangs, which they do have in the high schools. We just got the catalogue, and it costs about $6,000 a year. I pointed out to him that, while it isn't politically correct to say so, the good thing about that is that it keeps the riff-raff out. "Yes," he said, "their parents won't want to pay that much for them to fail."
