Parentland
 
Dave sends me these great “Parentland Updates” every now and then.  Sometimes I think of Parentland as an amusement park filled with slightly creepy funhouses.  Sometimes Parentland sounds more like the name for a memorial park….shady-sided Parentland, where you can sit beneath the willows and remember….
 
At any rate, I like seeing the subject line because I know pretty much what to expect.  More from Parentland.  Who tried to avoid their shower, who thought the aides were stealing sweaters.  Or just who needs new glasses or a visit with the podiatrist.  Parentland is funny, sad, alarming and/or a source of relief.
 
Parentland is a mixed bag of news, and I’m both happy and sad to be its recipient.
