and Emily Howe discuss the perils of getting your 89 year old mom
into a Toyota Tundra pickup truck, reading poetry aloud as an
antidote for technophobia, a conflicted response to watching an
animated video “walk through” of sex reassignment surgery, fear of
flying as a metaphor for life, an argument about whether to donate
cans to the humane society or the kids baseball team, running out
of ideas, contemplating a shower stall music video, letting go of
sheep, the dangers of throwing gum out the car window revisited,
repurposing pill boxes, the ordinary ups and downs of sibling
angst, turning human bodies into trees, an introduction to
chatbots, the dysfunctionality of caring - and so much
