Without even having read it I knew that if BOB wasn't there his absence had something to do with one of his sons. Most of you - all of you - probably know, but BOB has a son with special needs. From what little I have seen it appears that BOB is the best possible dad to that child. So every time he calls some dumbshit play or fks up clock management in a key situation or whatever, after I calm down I remind myself that he seems to have some of the more important stuff nailed. And that counts for something, at least to me.
I used to do a lot of snow skiing, downhill skiing. I'd lose my shit when they'd stop the lift. I imagined some dumbass who really should be skiing on the beginner's patch they have down by the parking lot falling off while trying to get on the lift or falling off while trying to slide off. And a lot of the time that's exactly what's happening. But once I happened to be within sight of what was going on during a lift stoppage. They loaded a disabled skier onto the lift. I'd seen plenty of skiers zipping around that don't have the use of their legs; they sit in this sort of mini-catamaran contraption and they get around just fine. But it had never occurred to me to wonder how they hell they get up the mountain. So now I knew. Anyway, from then on every time the lift lurched to a halt I'd just imagine the stoners below loading some guy and his catamaran onto the lift and I could sit there swinging contentedly.
