Yes, for the most generous Irish honey-well-comb (aka 'server'), you got to
frame your contribution as "Snap" in the subject line to contain it among
the rest of us.
As to reconciliation, and as you suggest, I suspect you and your dad are in
this together for the duration. Conciliatory or not. My son is currently in
an unforgiving mode - lots of fun, let me tell you. Life and its cycles.
Some say George Bush went into Iraq for or on account of his father - to
show him up for being a wimp in 1991? I don't know. Why the man had to take
non-family members into this murderous disaster remains a mystery to me.
But the suffering - obviously - remains a horror show!!!
