My Mother: Well, Daddo, I hope that in the last third of our life we do something more substantial.
Me: Do you want to make Irish movies?
My Father: Do you want to move to Ireland?
My Mother: I hope we’re done with all this petty, profit-making, work-focused stuff, and do something more real.
My Father: Well, we’ll be done with working in about a year, and then we’ll be traveling the world, or something. If Hannah goes back to England we’ll go there, and then when the weather gets back we’ll go somewhere else.
Me: Like back to Oregon.
My Father: Like Greece.
My Mother: I was thinking of opening a pit-bull farm.
Me: That would be substantial.
